A Decomposition-Based Approach to Optimizing Conjunctive Query Answering in OWL DL
A Decomposition-Based Approach to Optimizing Conjunctive Query Answering in OWL DL is a scholarly work by Jeff Z. Pan, Guilin Qiao, and Yidong Shen, published in 2009 in ''The Semantic Web - ISWC 2009: 8th International Semantic Web Conference, ISWC 2009, Chantilly, VA, USA, October 25-29, 2009. Proceedings''. The main subjects of the publication include computer science, semantic reasoner, ontology, Web Ontology Language, OWL-S, conjunctive query, information retrieval, description logic, set, logic programming, Semantic Web, benchmark, data mining, and scalability. Towards tackling the scalability problem, authors propose a decomposition-based approach to optimizing existing OWL DL reasoners in evaluating conjunctive queries in OWL DL ontologies.
