Extended RDF: Computability and Complexity Issues
ERDF stable model semantics is a recently proposed semantics for
ERDF ontologies and a faithful extension of RDFS semantics on RDF graphs.
In this paper, we elaborate on the computability and complexity issues of the
ERDF stable model semantics. Based on the undecidability result of ERDF
stable model semantics, decidability under this semantics cannot be achieved,
unless ERDF ontologies of restricted syntax are considered. Therefore, we
propose a slightly modified semantics for ERDF ontologies, called ERDF #n-
stable model semantics. We show that entailment under this semantics is, in
general, decidable and also extends RDFS entailment. Equivalence statements
between the two semantics are provided. Additionally, we provide algorithms
that compute the ERDF #n-stable models of syntax-restricted and general
ERDF ontologies. Further, we provide complexity results for the ERDF #nstable
model semantics on syntax-restricted and general ERDF ontologies.
Finally, we provide complexity results for the ERDF stable model semantics
on syntax-restricted ERDF ontologies
Disjunctive ASP with Functions: Decidable Queries and Effective Computation
Querying over disjunctive ASP with functions is a highly undecidable task in
general. In this paper we focus on disjunctive logic programs with stratified
negation and functions under the stable model semantics (ASP^{fs}). We show
that query answering in this setting is decidable, if the query is finitely
recursive (ASP^{fs}_{fr}). Our proof yields also an effective method for query
evaluation. It is done by extending the magic set technique to ASP^{fs}_{fr}.
We show that the magic-set rewritten program is query equivalent to the
original one (under both brave and cautious reasoning). Moreover, we prove that
the rewritten program is also finitely ground, implying that it is decidable.
Importantly, finitely ground programs are evaluable using existing ASP solvers,
making the class of ASP^{fs}_{fr} queries usable in practice.Comment: 16 pages, 1 figur
