Abstract

One of the main applications of description logics is the ontology-based data access model, which requires algorithms for query answering over
ontologies. In fact, some description logics, like those in the DL-Lite family, are designed so that simple queries, such as conjunctive queries, are efficiently computable.

In this talk I discuss what happens when one goes beyond and tries to answer more expressive queries, such as ones involving
negation (including inequalities), different types of aggregation and some others. I give a survey of previously known results, subsume my recent work, and
conclude with the problems remain open.
