The emergence of the ISO standard GQL introduces a powerful query language extending first-order logic with controlled recursion, raising the question of its applicability to evaluation of ontology-mediated queries (OMQs). We focus on OMQs consisting of atomic queries over ontologies expressed in Horn-ALCHI, an expressive Description Logic that is not, in general, first-order rewritable.

In Description Logics (DLs), reasoning under Rational Closure (RC) is a well-known and widely accepted non-monotonic formalism to handle defeasible knowledge. In this paper, we study the application of RC to the core and horn variants of the DL-Lite family of lightweight description logics.

By Spencer Killen, Jia-Huai You
Description logic programs are a powerful formalism for combining rules with ontologies. The well-supported semantics for description logic programs ensures that no answer sets rely on cyclic dependencies.
