Abstract

Fixed-domain reasoning over OWL ontologies is adequate in certain closed-world scenarios and has been shown to be both useful and feasible in practice. However, the reasoning modes hitherto supported by available tools do not include querying. We provide the formal foundations of querying under the fixed domain semantics, based on the principle of certain answers, and show how fixed-domain querying can be incorporated in existing reasoning methods using answer set programming (ASP).

To ensure compatibility with their later usage in RDF and SPARQL, we silently presume that all these vocabulary elements are Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs).

The original definition of \(\mathcal {SROIQ}\) contained more RBox axioms (expressing transitivity, (a)symmetry, (ir)reflexivity of roles), but these can be shown to be syntactic sugar. Moreover, the definition of \(\mathcal {SROIQ}\) contains so-called global restrictions which prevents certain axioms from occurring together. These complicated restrictions, while crucial for the decidability of classical reasoning in \(\mathcal {SROIQ}\) are not necessary for fixed-domain reasoning considered here, hence we omit them for the sake of brevity.
