From Classical to Consistent Query Answering under Existential Rules

Andreas Pieris.

Institute of Information Systems, Vienna University of Technology.

Abstract

We consider the well-known setting of ontology-based query answer- ing. In real-life applications, involving large amount of data, it is possible that the data are inconsistent with the ontology. Since standard ontology languages adhere to the classical first-order logic semantics, inconsisten- cies are nothing else than logical contradictions. Therefore, the classical inference semantics fails terribly when faced an inconsistency, since every- thing is inferred from a contradiction. Querying inconsistent knowledge bases is an intriguing new problem that gave rise to a flourishing research activity in the KR community. In this talk, we focus on rule-based ontol- ogy languages, and we demonstrate the tight connection between classical and consistent query answering. More precisely, we focus on the standard inconsistency-tolerant semantics, namely, the ABox repair (AR) seman- tics, and we establish generic complexity results that allow us to obtain in a uniform way a relatively complete picture of the complexity of our problem. We also discuss sound approximations of the AR semantics, with the aim of achieving tractability of consistent query answering in data complexity.

Consistent query answering (CQA) is about formally char- acterizing and computing semantically correct answers to queries posed to a database that may fail to satisfy certain

However, source data are generally not under the control of the data integration process, thus integrated data may violate global integrity constraints even in presence

Since such atoms are not given as input, we address the problem of (e ffi ciently) computing such restricting atoms within an approximate query answering algorithm after showing

We study the data complexity of conjunctive query answering under these new semantics, and show a general tractability result for all known first-order rewritable ontology languages.

While in the combined complexity this task remains 2E XP T IME -complete, in case of fixed arity and fixed sets of rules, we observe the classical positive effect of restricting

We use triangles in the table in Figure 1 to indicate the upper ( O / H ) and lower ( M / N ) bounds that have to be shown in order to obtain all results given in the table..

In contrast, the presence of any kind of disjunction in the ontology results in the existence of models that differ in the queries they entail, and makes the query entailment

The best existing lower bounds for our problem are the following: (i) 2E XP T IME in combined complexity, and also E XP T IME in case of bounded arity, for guarded DTGDs [9], (ii) 2E
