Descrizione:
In this thesis we address the problem of conjunctive query answering in expressive ontology languages. Even tough the problem is intractable,there are some approaches which have shown to perform well in practice.
Among them we have the pay-as-you-go approach, which seeks scalability by delegating the most of the work to a datalog reasoner and achieves completeness by employing a fully-fledged reasoner for the language of interest, which is used as a last resort. The core of the approach exploits the datalog reasoner for computing a lower and an upper bound of the set of answers, which identify the set itself if they coincide. The approach is implemented in the PAGOdA system. A comprehensive evaluation has shown that PAGOdA is competitive with a number of state-of-the-art systems. However there are inputs for which it needs time-consuming calls to the fully-fledged reasoner.
Starting from the analysis of such inputs, we design a novel algorithm for computing an upper bound of the set ...
