Optimizing query answering over expressive ontological knowledge

Abstract

Query answering over ontologies, i.e., the computation of answers to user queriesbased not only on explicitly stated information but also on implicit knowledge is animportant task in the context of the Semantic Web. In this direction, the SPARQLquery language has recently been extended by the World Wide Web Consortium(W3C) with so-called entailment regimes. An entailment regime defines how queriesare evaluated under more expressive semantics than SPARQL’s standard simpleentailment, which is based on subgraph matching.In this thesis we describe a sound and complete algorithm for the OWL DirectSemantics entailment regime of SPARQL (SPARQL-OWL). The proposed SPARQLOWLqueries are very expressive since variables can occur within complex conceptsand can also bind to concept or role names apart from individuals. Initially, wepresent a cost-based query planning strategy for SPARQL queries issued over anOWL ontology. The costs of the model are based on information about the instancesof concepts ...
