TLDR
It is shown that, if the notion of repair studied in databases is used, inconsistency-tolerant query answering is intractable, even for the simplest form of queries.Abstract:
We address the problem of dealing with inconsistencies in Description Logic (DL) knowledge bases. Our general goal is both to study DL semantical frameworks which are inconsistency-tolerant, and to devise techniques for answering unions of conjunctive queries posed to DL knowledge bases under such inconsistency-tolerant semantics. Our work is inspired by the approaches to consistent query answering in databases, which are based on the idea of living with inconsistencies in the database, but trying to obtain only consistent information during query answering, by relying on the notion of database repair. We show that, if we use the notion of repair studied in databases, inconsistency-tolerant query answering is intractable, even for the simplest form of queries. Therefore, we study different variants of the repair-based semantics, with the goal of reaching a good compromise between expressive power of the semantics and computational complexity of inconsistency-tolerant query answering.read more

An Incremental Algorithm for Computing All Repairs in Inconsistent Knowledge Bases
Bruno Yun,Madalina Croitoru +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the problem of all repair computation is not trivial in practice, and an incremental approach for the computation of all repairs when the conflicts have a cardinality of at most three is provided.

Tractable Reasoning and Efficient Query Answering in Description Logics: The DL-Lite Family
TL;DR: It is shown that, for the DLs of the DL-Lite family, the usual DL reasoning tasks are polynomial in the size of the TBox, and query answering is LogSpace in thesize of the ABox, which is the first result ofPolynomial-time data complexity for query answering over DL knowledge bases.

Linking data to ontologies

TL;DR: This paper presents a new ontology language, based on Description Logics, that is particularly suited to reason with large amounts of instances and a novel mapping language that is able to deal with the so-called impedance mismatch problem.
