It transcends previous work on circumscriptive description logics which had the drawback of yielding an undecidable logic unless severe restrictions were imposed. In particular, it was not possible, in general, to apply local closure to roles. In this paper, we provide a new approach, called grounded circumscription, which is applicable to SROIQ and other description logics around OWL without these restrictions. We show that the resulting language is decidable, and we derive an upper complexity bound. We also provide a decision procedure in the form of a tableaux algorithm.}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-642-25073-6_39}, author = {Kunal Sengupta and Adila Krisnadhi and Pascal Hitzler}, editor = {Lora Aroyo and Chris Welty and Harith Alani and Jamie Taylor and Abraham Bernstein and Lalana Kagal and Natasha F.
