• KurzfassungAbstract
In the context of Description Logics (DLs) concrete domains allow to model concepts and facts by the use of concrete values and predicates between them. For reasoning in the DL ALC with general TBoxes concrete domains may cause undecidability. Under certain restrictions of the concrete domains decidability can be regained. Typically, the concrete domain predicates are crisp, which is a limitation for some applications. In this paper we investigate crisp ALC in combination with fuzzy concrete domains for general TBoxes, devise conditions for decidability, and give a tableau-based reasoning algorithm.
