Temporalized EL Ontologies for Accessing Temporal Data: Complexity of Atomic Queries
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study access to temporal data with TEL, a temporal extension of the tractable description logic EL. Our aim is to establish a clear computational complexity landscape for the atomic query answering problem, in terms of both data and combined complexity. Atomic queries in full TEL turn out to be undecidable even in data complexity. Motivated by the negative result, we identify well-behaved yet expressive fragments of TEL. Our main contributions are a semantic and sufficient syntactic conditions for decidability and three orthogonal tractable fragments, which are based on restricted use of rigid roles, temporal operators, and novel acyclicity conditions on the ontologies.

Temporal Query Answering in the Description Logic EL
Context-aware systems use data collected at runtime to recognize certain predefined situations and trigger adaptations. This can be implemented using ontology-based data access (OBDA), which augments classical query answering in databases by adopting the open-world assumption and including domain knowledge provided by an ontology. We investigate temporalized OBDA w.r.t. ontologies formulated in...
متن کاملTemporal Query Answering in EL
Context-aware systems use data about their environment for adaptation at runtime, e.g., for optimization of power consumption or user experience. Ontology-based data access (OBDA) can be used to support the interpretation of the usually large amounts of data. OBDA augments query answering in databases by dropping the closed-world assumption (i.e., the data is not assumed to be complete any more...

متن کاملData Complexity of Answering Unions of Conjunctive Queries in SHIQ
The novel context of accessing and querying large data repositories through ontologies that are formalized in terms of expressive DLs requires on the one hand to consider query answering as the primary inference technique, and on the other hand to optimize it with respect to the size of the data, which dominates the size of ontologies. While the complexity of DLs has been studied extensively, d...
متن کاملComputing FO-Rewritings in EL in Practice: from Atomic to Conjunctive Queries
A prominent approach to implementing ontology-mediated queries (OMQs) is to rewrite into a first-order query, which is then executed using a conventional SQL database system. We show that rewritings of OMQs can be efficiently computed in practice, in a sound and complete way, when the ontology is formulated in the description logic EL and the actual query is a conjunctive query. Our approach co...
