A Resolution Procedure for Description Logics with Nominal Schemas

Abstract: Abstract. We present a polynomial resolution-based decision procedure for the recently introduced description logic ELHOVn( ) , which features nominal schemas as new language construct. Our algorithm is based on ordered resolution and positive superposition, together with a lifting lemma. In contrast to previous work on resolution for description logics, we have to overcome the fact that ELHOVn( ) does not allow for a normalization resulting in clauses of globally limited size.

“…We have obtained this result by modifying an existing algorithm for EL ++ . While the algorithm modification itself is not overly sophisticated, it has taken considerable time (namely three years since the introduction of nominal schemas in [18]) and several previous unsuccessful efforts (such as [13,21]) to come up with this first approach. The main contribution of this paper is thus to show that a reasonable algorithmization of nominal-schema-extended description logics is feasible at all.…”

“…In fact, the unavailability of a folding-based normalization procedure is one of the main obstacles in adapting DL reasoning algorithms to nominal schemas, see [13,21]. Our approach presented below works without such a normalization as the underlying DL algorithm is based on Datalog.…”

“…The complexities of different DL languages extended with nominal schemas are studied in [30]. However, despite this, first attempts to arrive at an efficient reasoning algorithm with nominal schemas have had limited success: [24] reported on a corresponding extension of tableaux algorithms, while [42] reported on a resolution-based algorithm for the tractable fragment-but neither of these algorithms looked promising enough in terms of scalability to even attempt an implementation. However, an adaptation of the reasoning optimization technique known as absorption has led to a significantly improved reasoning algorithm with nominal-schema-extended SROIQ [37,38]; that is, the logic underlying the OWL DL language.…”
