Abstract

Quantitative information plays an increasingly important role in knowledge representation. To this end, many formalisms have been proposed that enrich traditional KR formalisms by counting and some sort of arithmetics. Baader and Ecke (2017) propose an extension of the description logic \(\mathcal {ALC}\) by axioms which express correspondences between the cardinalities of concepts by means of Presburger arithmetics. This paper extends their results, enhancing the expressivity of the underlying logic as well as the constraints while preserving complexities. It also widens the scope of investigation from finite models to the classical semantics where infinite models are allowed. We also provide first results on query entailment in such logics. As opposed to prior work, our results are established by polynomially encoding the cardinality constraints in the underlying logic.

The original definition of \(\mathcal {SROIQ}\) Rboxes also features explicit axioms expressing role reflexivity, asymmetry, and role disjointness. However, in the presence of (safe) Boolean role constructors, these can be expressed, so we omit them here.
 
3
For this, we have to postulate \(\infty < \infty \), which is debatable, but could be justified by the fact that there is an injective, non-surjective mapping between any two countably infinite sets.

In fact, the constraint expression \((1+|\mathtt {A}|=|\mathtt {A}|)\wedge \lnot (|\mathtt {A}|=|\mathtt {B}|)\) would enforce finiteness of the extension of \(\mathtt {B}\), which is not axiomatizable in first order logic, neither finitely nor infinitely. For good reasons (see Section 5) we define ECboxes in a way that a first-order axiomatization is still possible.
