Welcome
on the website of the Knowledge Representation working group.
The research interests of this group are the foundations of intelligent logic-based systems. Central to these systems are reasoning problems whose properties are to be investigated and for the reasoning methods to be developed from them.
The main focus of our research is on description logics, which can be used to model declarative terminologies and to enrich data by means of terminologies. Our research focuses on methods for symbolic learning of expressions in description logics and "robust" queries to description logic knowledge bases that are inconsistency-tolerant or relaxed.
