1 OWL Three species of OWL OWL full is union of OWL syntax and RDF (Undecidable) OWL DL restricted to FOL fragment (decidable in NEXPTIME) OWL Lite is easier to implement subset of OWL DL (decidable in EXPTIME) Semantic layering OWL DL within Description Logic (DL) fragment OWL DL is based on SHOIN (D n) DL OWL Lite is based on SHIF(D n) DL OWL 2 is based on SROIQ(D n) DL
2 Description Logics (DLs) The logics behind OWL-DL and OWL-Lite, Concept/Class: names are equivalent to unary predicates In general, concepts equiv to formulae with one free variable Role or attribute: names are equivalent to binary predicates In general, roles equiv to formulae with two free variables Taxonomy: Concept and role hierarchies can be expressed Individual: names are equivalent to constants Operators: restricted so that: Language is decidable and, if possible, of low complexity No need for explicit use of variables Restricted form of and Features such as counting can be succinctly expressed
3 The DL Family A given DL is defined by set of concept and role forming operators Basic language: ALC(Attributive Language with Complement) Syntax Semantics Example C, D (x) (x) A A(x) Human C D C(x) D(x) Human Male C D C(x) D(x) Nice Rich C C(x) Meat R.C y.r(x, y) C(y) has_child.blond R.C y.r(x, y) C(y) has_child.human C D x.c(x) D(x) Happy_Father Man has_child.female a:c C(a) John:Happy_Father
4 Toy Example Sex = Male Female Male Female Person Human hassex.sex MalePerson = Person hassex.male functional(hassex) umberto:person hassex. Female KB = umberto:maleperson
5 Note on DL Naming For instance, AL: C, D A C D A R. R.C C: Concept negation, C. Thus, ALC = AL + C S: Used for ALC with transitive roles R + U: Concept disjunction, C 1 C 2 E: Existential quantification, R.C H: Role inclusion axioms, R 1 R 2, e.g. is_component_of is_part_of N : Number restrictions, ( n R) and ( n R), e.g. ( 3 has_child) (has at least 3 children) Q: Qualified number restrictions, ( n R.C) and ( n R.C), e.g. ( 2 has_child.adult) (has at most 2 adult children) O: Nominals (singleton class), {a}, e.g. has_child.{mary}. Note: a:c equiv to {a} C and (a, b):r equiv to {a} R.{b} I: Inverse role, R, e.g. ispartof = haspart F: Functional role, f, e.g. functional(hasage) R +: transitive role, e.g. transitive(ispartof ) SHIF = S + H + I + F = ALCR +HIF OWL-Lite SHOIN = S + H + O + I + N = ALCR +HOIN OWL-DL SROIQ = S + R + O + I + Q = ALCR +ROIN OWL 2
6 Semantics of Additional Constructs H: Role inclusion axioms, I = R 1 R 2 iff R 1 I R 1 I N : Number restrictions, ( n R) I = {x I : {y x, y R I } n}, ( n R) I = {x I : {y x, y R I } n} Q: Qualified number restrictions, ( n R.C) I = {x {y x, y R I y C I } n}, ( n R.C) I = {x I : {y x, y R I y C I } n} O: Nominals (singleton class), {a} I = {a I } I: Inverse role, (R ) I = { x, y y, x R I } F: Functional role, I = fun(f ) iff z y z if x, y f I and x, z f I the y = z R +: transitive role, (R +) I = { x, y z such that x, z R I z, y R I }
7 Basics on Concrete Domains Concrete domains: reals, integers, strings,... (tim, 14):hasAge (sf, SoftComputing ):hasacronym (source1, ComputerScience ):isabout (service2, InformationRetrievalTool ):Matches Minor = Person hasage. 18 Semantics: a clean separation between object classes and concrete domains D = D, Φ D D is an interpretation domain Φ D is the set of concrete domain predicates d with a predefined arity n and fixed interpretation d D n D Concrete properties: R I I D Notation: (D). E.g., ALC(D) is ALC + concrete domains
8 Example: assume I = ( I, I ) such that I = {a, b, c, d, e, f, 1, 2, 4, 5, 8} Person I = {a, b, c, d} Consider the following concrete domain with of some unary predicates (n = 1) over reals D = R, Φ D = {= m, m, m, > m, < m m R} the fixed interpretation of the predicates is (= m) D = {m} ( m) D = {k k m} ( m) D = {k k m} (> m) D = {k k > m} (< m) D = {k k < m} Concrete properties: hasage I I R hasage I = { a, 9, c, 20, b, 12 } What is the interpretation of Person hasage. 18? (Person hasage. 18 ) I = Person I {x y R such that x, y hasage I y ( 18 ) I = {a, b, c, d} {x y. x, y { a, 9, c, 20, b, 12 } y 18} = {a, b, c, d} {a, b} = {a, b}
9 DL Knowledge Base A DL Knowledge Base is a pair KB = T, A, where T is a TBox containing general inclusion axioms of the form C D, concept definitions of the form A = C primitive concept definitions of the form A C role inclusions of the form R P role equivalence of the form R = P A is a ABox containing assertions of the form a:c containing assertions of the form (a, b):r containing (in) equality Axioms of the form a = b and a b An interpretation I is a model of KB, written I = KB iff I = T and I = A, where I = T (I is a model of T ) iff I is a model of each element in T I = A (I is a model of A) iff I is a model of each element in A

14 Description Logic Reasoning What can we do with it? Design and maintenance of ontologies Check class consistency and compute class hierarchy Particularly important with large ontologies/multiple authors Integration of ontologies Assert inter-ontology relationships Reasoner computes integrated class hierarchy/consistency Querying class and instance data w.r.t. ontologies Determine if set of facts are consistent w.r.t. ontologies Determine if individuals are instances of ontology classes Retrieve individuals/tuples satisfying a query expression Check if one class subsumes (is more general than) another w.r.t. ontology How do we do it? Use DLs reasoner (OWL DL = SHOIN (D)) Formal properties well understood (complexity, decidability) Known practical reasoning algorithms Implemented systems (highly optimised)

16 Basic Inference Problems (Formally) Consistency: Check if knowledge is meaningful Is KB satisfiability? Is there some model I of KB? Is C satisfiability? C I for some some model I of KB? Subsumption: structure knowledge, compute taxonomy KB = C D? Is it true that C I D I for all models I of KB? Equivalence: check if two classes denote same set of instances KB = C = D? Is it true that C I = D I for all models I of KB? Instantiation: check if individual a instance of class C KB = a:c? Is it true that a I C I for all models I of KB? Retrieval: retrieve set of individuals that instantiate C Compute the set {a KB = a:c}
17 Reduction to Satisfiability Problems are all reducible to KB satisfiability Subsumption: KB = C D iff T, A {a:c D} not satisfiable, where a is a new individual Equivalence: KB = C = D iff KB = C D and KB = D C Instantiation: KB = a:c iff T, A {a: C} not satisfiable Retrieval: The computation of the set {a KB = a:c} is reducible to the instance checking problem

19 Reasoning in DLs: Basics Tableaux algorithm deciding satisfiability Try to build a tree-like model I of the KB Decompose concepts C syntactically Apply tableau expansion rules Infer constraints on elements of model Tableau rules correspond to constructors in logic (,,... ) Some rules are nondeterministic (e.g.,, ) In practice, this means search Stop when no more rules applicable or clash occurs Clash is an obvious contradiction, e.g., A(x), A(x) Cycle check (blocking) may be needed for termination
20 Negation Normal Form (NNF) We have to transform concepts into Negation Normal Form: push negation inside using de Morgan laws C C (C 1 C 2 ) C 1 C 2 (C 1 C 2 ) C 1 C 2 and ( R.C) R. C ( R.C) R. C
21 Completion-Forest This is a forest of trees, where each node x is labelled with a set L(x) of concepts each edge x, y is labelled with L( x, y ) = {R} for some role R (edges correspond to relationships between pairs of individuals) The forest is initialized with a root node a, labelled L(x) = for each individual a occurring in the KB an edge a, b labelled L( a, b ) = {R} for each (a, b):r occurring in the KB Then, for each a:c occurring in the KB, set L(a) L(a) {C} The algorithm expands the tree either by extending L(x) for some node x or by adding new leaf nodes. Edges are added when expanding R.C A completion-forest contains a clash if, for a node x, {C, C} L(x) If nodes x and y are connected by an edge x, y, then y is called a successor of x and x is called a predecessor of y. Ancestor is the transitive closure of predecessor. A node y is called an R-successor of a node x if y is a successor of x and L( x, y ) = {R}. The algorithm returns satisfiable" if rules can be applied s.t. they yield a clash-free, complete (no more rules can be applied) completion forest

52 Soundness and Completeness Theorem Let A be an ALC ABox and F a completion-forest obtained by applying the tableau rules to A. Then 1. The rule application terminates; 2. If F is clash-free and complete, then F defines a (canonical) (tree) model for A; and 3. If A has a model I, then the rules can be applied such that they yield a clash-free and complete completion-forest.

69 Node Blocking in ALC When creating new node, check ancestors for equal label set If such a node is found, new node is blocked No rule is applied to blocked nodes L(umberto) = {Human, Human hasmother.human, hasmother.human} umberto L(y 1 ) = {Human, Human hasmother.human, hasmother.human} hasmother hasmother L(y 2 ) = {Human, Human hasmother.human, hasmother.human} y 2 blocked: L(y 1 ) = L(y 2 ) y 1

71 Blocking in ALC A non-root node x is blocked if for some ancestor y, y is blocked or L(x) = L(y), where y is not a root node. A blocked node x is indirectly blocked if its predecessor is blocked, otherwise it is directly blocked. If x is directly blocked, it has a unique ancestor y such that L(x) = L(y) if there existed another ancestor z such that L(x) = L(z) then either y or z must be blocked. If x is directly blocked and y is the unique ancestor such that L(x) = L(y), we will say that y blocks x
72 ALC Tableau rules with GCI s Rule Description ( ) if 1. C 1 C 2 L(x), x is not indirectly blocked and 2. {C 1, C 2 } L(x) then L(x) L(x) {C 1, C 2 } ( ) if 1.

R.C L(x), x is not blocked and 2. x has no R-successor y with C L(y) then create a new node y with L( x, y ) = {R} and L(y) = {C} ( ) if 1. R.C L(x), x is not indirectly blocked and 2. x has an R-successor y with C L(y) then L(y) L(y) {C} ( ) if 1. C D T, x is not indirectly blocked and 2. {nnf ( C), D} L(x) = then L(x) L(x) {E} for some E {nnf ( C), D} (nnf ( C) is NNF of C)
73 Soundness and Completeness Theorem Let KB be an ALC KB and F a completion-forest obtained by applying the tableau rules to KB. Then 1. The rule application terminates; 2. If F is clash-free and complete, then F defines a (canonical) (tree) model for KB; and 3. If KB has a model I, then the rules can be applied such that they yield a clash-free and complete completion-forest.
74 Representing degrees in OWL-DL/OWL-Lite How can we represent degrees of uncertainty and vagueness in OWL-DL/OWL-Lite? Unfortunately, as for RDF, no standard exists yet We may make an encoding as for RDF s1: hassubject.({o1} IsAbout.{snoopy}) hasdegree. = 0.8 But, again then such statements have to be appropriately be managed by the system according to the underlying uncertainty or vagueness theory A rather dangerous approach
