Abstract

Description Logics (DLs) are knowledge representation and reasoning formalisms used in many settings. Among them, the \({\mathcal {EL}}\) family of DLs stands out due to the availability of polynomial-time inference algorithms and its ability to represent knowledge from domains such as medical informatics. However, the construction of an ontology is an error-prone process which often leads to unintended inferences. This paper presents the BEACON tool for debugging \({\mathcal {EL}{^+}}\) ontologies. BEACON builds on earlier work relating minimal justifications (MinAs) of \({\mathcal {EL}{^+}}\) ontologies and MUSes of a Horn formula, and integrates state-of-the-art algorithms for solving different function problems in the SAT domain.
