  • KurzfassungAbstract
    Quantitative information plays an increasingly important role in knowledge representation. To this end, many formalisms have been proposed that enrich traditional KR formalisms by counting and some sort of arithmetics. Baader and Ecke (2017) propose an extension of the description logic ALC by axioms which express correspondences between the cardinalities of concepts by means of Presburger arithmetics. This paper extends their results, enhancing the expressivity of the underlying logic as well as the constraints while preserving complexities. It also widens the scope of investigation from finite models to the classical semantics where infinite models are allowed. We also provide first results on query entailment in such logics. As opposed to prior work, our results are established by polynomially encoding the cardinality constraints in the underlying logic.
