Description Logics (DLs) are used in Artificial Intelligenceto represent knowledge in terms of objects grouped into classes, and offerstructuring mechanisms for both characterizing the relevant propertiesof classes in terms of binary relations, and establishing several interdependenciesamong classes. One of the main themes in the area of DLshas been to identify DLs that are both very expressive and decidable.
