Optimized Reasoning in Description Logics Using Hypertableaux
TL;DR: A novel reasoning calculus for Description Logics)--knowledge representation formalisms with applications in areas such as the Semantic Web, which is based on hypertableau and hyperresolution calculi and extended with a blocking condition to ensure termination.

Parallel materialisation of datalog programs in centralised, main-memory RDF systems
TL;DR: This work presents a novel approach to parallel materialisation (i.e., fixpoint computation) of datalog programs in centralised, main-memory, multi-core RDF systems with an algorithm that evenly distributes the workload to cores, and an RDF indexing data structure that supports efficient, 'mostly' lock-free parallel updates.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Enabling knowledge representation on the Web by extending RDF schema
Jeen Broekstra,Michel C. A. Klein,Stefan Decker,Dieter Fensel,Frank van Harmelen,Ian Horrocks +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown how RDFS can be extended to include a more expressive knowledge representation language, Ontology Inference Layer (OIL), which would enrich it with the required additional expressivity and the semantics of that language.
Book ChapterDOI
Can OWL and logic programming live together happily ever after
TL;DR: A novel logic of hybrid MKNF knowledge bases is presented, which seamlessly integrates OWL with LP, and is capable of addressing the identified use cases without a radical change in the architecture of the Semantic Web.
