We study complete approximations of an ontology formulated in a non-Horn description logic (DL) such as $\mathcal{ALC}$ in a Horn DL such as~$\mathcal{EL}$. We provide concrete approximation schemes that are necessarily infinite and observe…

We propose a novel framework for ontology-based access to temporal log data using a datalog extension datalogMTL of a Horn fragment of the metric temporal logic MTL. We show that datalogMTL is ExpSpace-complete even with punctual intervals,…

Non-confluent and non-terminating constructor-based term rewrite systems are useful for the purpose of specification and programming. In particular, existing functional logic languages use such kind of rewrite systems to define possibly…

In this paper, we introduce OWLAPY, a comprehensive Python framework for OWL ontology engineering. OWLAPY streamlines the creation, modification, and serialization of OWL 2 ontologies. It uniquely integrates native Python-based reasoners…

Transforming relational databases into knowledge graphs with enriched ontologies enhances semantic interoperability and unlocks advanced graph-based learning and reasoning over data. However, previous approaches either demand significant…

We investigate ontology-based data access to temporal data. We consider temporal ontologies given in linear temporal logic LTL interpreted over discrete time (Z,<). Queries are given in LTL or MFO(<), monadic first-order logic with a…
