    Abstract

    We settle an open question on the complexity of the following problem: given two OWL2QL TBoxes and a signature, decide whether these TBoxes return the same answers to any conjunctive query over any data formulated in the given signature. It has been known that the complexity of this problem is between PSpace and ExpTime. Here we show that the problem is ExpTime-complete and, in fact, deciding whether two OWL2QL knowledge bases (each with its own data) give the same answers to any conjunctive query is ExpTime-hard.
