Abstract

Knowledge engineers might face situations in which an unwanted consequence is derivable from an ontology. It is then desired to revise the ontology such that it no longer entails the consequence. For this purpose, we introduce a novel technique for repairing TBoxes formulated in the description logic 𝓔𝓛. Specifically, we first compute a canonical model of the TBox and then transform it into a countermodel to the unwanted consequence. As formalism for the model transformation we employ transductions. We then obtain a TBox repair as the axiomatization of the logical intersection of the original TBox and the theory of the countermodel. In fact, we construct a set of countermodels, each of which induces a TBox repair. For the actual computation of the repairs we use results from Formal Concept Analysis.
