Dear All, I remember that there was a paper from Manchester about query answering in DLs by using a "rolling-up" technique. I was just wondering if anyone knows whether this would work for OWL 1.1? The reason I ask is that negated roles are now allowed in the A-Box, but (if I remember correctly) the procedure involved taking an A-Box query and transforming it into a new class with existential quantification in the T-Box, and then using existing techniques to infer class membership, so wouldn't you end up trying to make class with a negated role in the T-Box definition? E.g: People(x) & hasBrother(x,y) & OldMan(y) --> NewQueryClass \equiv People \sqcap \exists hasBrother.OldMan but then: People(x) & hasBrother(x,y) & OldMan(y) & ¬ hates (x,y) --> ??? Apologies if this is obvious, but I was just curious.... Thanks, MattReceived on Wednesday, 7 March 2007 05:02:16 GMT
