Data Complexity of Query Answering in Description Logics (Extended Abstract)
We study the data complexity of answering conjunctive queries over Description Logic knowledge bases constituted by a TBox and an ABox. In particular, we are interested in characterizing the FOrewritability and the polynomial tractability boundaries of conjunctive query answering, depending on the expressive power of the DL used to express the knowledge base. What emerges from our complexity an...
متن کاملData Complexity of Query Answering in Description Logics
In this paper we study data complexity of answering conjunctive queries over DL knowledge bases constituted by an ABox and a TBox. In particular, we characterize the LogSpace boundary (over the data) of the problem. This boundary is particularly meaningful because, when we go above it, query answering is not expressible as a first-order logic formula (and hence an SQL query) over the data. With...
متن کاملNon-Uniform Data Complexity of Query Answering in Description Logics
In ontology-based data access (OBDA), ontologies are used as an interface for querying instance data. Since in typical applications the size of the data is much larger than the size of the ontology and query, data complexity is the most important complexity measure. In this paper, we propose a new method for investigating data complexity in OBDA: instead of classifying whole logics according to...
متن کاملThe Complexity of Conjunctive Query Answering in Expressive Description Logics
Conjunctive query answering plays a prominent role in applications of description logics (DLs) that involve instance data, but its exact complexity was a long-standing open problem. We determine the complexity of conjunctive query answering in expressive DLs between ALC and SHIQ, and thus settle the problem. In a nutshell, we show that conjunctive query answering is 2ExpTime-complete in the pre...
متن کاملView-based query answering in Description Logics: Semantics and complexity
View-based query answering is the problem of answering a query based only on the precomputed answers to a set of views. While this problem has been widely investigated in databases, it is largely unexplored in the context of Description Logic ontologies. Differently from traditional databases, Description Logics may express several forms of incomplete information, and this poses challenging pro...
