• KurzfassungAbstract
  Matching concept descriptions against concept patterns wasintroduced as a new inference task in Description Logics (DLs) almost 20years ago, motivated by applications in the Classic system. For the DLEL, it was shown in 2000 that matching without a TBox is NP-complete.In this paper we show that matching in EL w.r.t. general TBoxes (i.e.,finite sets of general concept inclusions, GCIs) is in NP by introducinga goal-oriented matching algorithm that uses non-deterministic rules totransform a given matching problem into a solved form by a polynomialnumber of rule applications. We also investigate some tractable variantsof the matching problem w.r.t. general TBoxes.
