We identify a large number of intractable extensions of EL, but also show that in ELIf , the extension of EL with inverse roles and global functionality, conjunctive query answering is tractable regarding data complexity. In contrast, already instance checking in EL extended with only inverse roles or global functionality is EXPTIME-complete regarding combined complexity}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-540-75560-9_25}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-75560-9_25}, author = {Adila Krisnadhi and Carsten Lutz}, editor = {Nachum Dershowitz and Andrei Voronkov} }
