  Reasoning over Existential Rules with Acyclicity Notions and the Datalog-first Restricted Chase

  The chase is a sound and complete (albeit non-terminating) algorithm for conjunctive query answering over ontologies of existential rules. On the theoretical side, we develop sufficient conditions to guarantee its termination (i.e., acyclicity notions), and study several restrictions that furthermore ensure its polynomiality. On the practical side, we empirically study the generality of these conditions and we extend the Datalog engine VLog to develop an efficient implementation of the chase. Furthermore, we conduct an extensive evaluation, and show that VLog can compete with the state of the art, regarding runtime, scalability, and memory efficiency.

  This talk consists of three sections which mostly discuss the following three publications, respectively.

  1. Restricted Chase (Non)Termination for Existential Rules with Disjunctions [IJCAI 17]
  2. Tractable Query Answering for Expressive Ontologies and Existential Rules [ISWC 17]
  3. Efficient Model Construction for Horn Logic with VLog - System Description [IJCAR 18]

  All of the above are joint work with Irina Dragoste, Ceriel J. H. Jacobs, Markus Krötzsch, and Jacopo Urbani.
