A Graph-Based Approach for Calculating Minimal Unsatisfiability-Preserving Subsets of Ontology in DL-Lite
Inconsistency often occurs during ontology evolution
and leads to the invalidity of standard reasoning.Minimal unsatisfiablility-preserving sub-TBox (MUPS) can provide an explanation of the unsatisfiability of a concept in an ontology.Finding all MUPS is an important nonstandard reasoning task in ontology engineering.Most of the approaches for calculating MUPS are built on external description logic reasoners.However
a reasoner-based method can hardly achieve positive efficiency and stability.In this paper
we propose a reasoner-independent approach to calculating MUPS using graph representation.We first transform DL ontologies to graphs
and find MUPS by computing the minimal unsatisfiability-preserving path-pair (MUPP) based on the transformed graphs.We implement and evaluate our approach.The experimental results demonstrate that our approach performs well in efficiency and stability.
