Abstract

We consider the instance checking problem for \(\mathcal {SHIQ(\mathbf {D})}\) knowledge bases. In particular, we present a procedure that significantly reduces the number of ABox individuals that need to be examined for a given instance checking problem over a consistent \(\mathcal {SHIQ(\mathbf {D})}\) knowledge base that contains arbitrary occurrences of value restrictions. The procedure extends earlier work that assumed value restrictions were predominantly used to establish global domain and range restrictions, and, consequently, in which other applications of value restrictions had a significant risk of requiring an infeasible number of individuals to be examined for a given problem. Finally, experimental results are given that validate the effectiveness of the procedure.

Fußnoten
1
This can be an important feature in cases for which a consistency check when “loading \(\mathcal{K}\)” would constitute a significant overhead due to the size and complexity of an included ontology.
 
2
Note that unary foreign keys occur in the LUBM benchmark [2] that we appeal to in our experimental evaluation. And indeed, as confirmed by our experimental results, such keys lead to large ripple problems.
 
3
Also inspired by the Canadian word for a “donut hole” pastry called a Timbit.
 
4
At a minimum, an interface to a cache of all individual names occurring in \(\mathcal{K}\) would be required, that is, a cache of the result of evaluating the instance query given by \(\mathcal{K}\) and the “top” concept \(\top \).
 
5
Recall that these are called data property assertions in RDF.
 
6
We chose to report on experiments using the LUBM benchmark for this study because of its wider appeal, e.g., its adoption of a set of predefined queries, and because its TBox includes foreign key constraints that are not global domain and range restrictions, a property missing with the digital camera case studied in [12]. Additional experiments can be found in [11].
