    Abstract

    This chapter gives an overview of the description logics underlying the OWL 2 Web Ontology Language and its three tractable profiles, OWL 2 RL, OWL 2 EL and OWL 2 QL. We consider the syntax and semantics of these description logics as well as main reasoning tasks and their computational complexity. We also discuss the semantical foundations for fist-order and datalog rewritings of conjunctive queries over knowledge bases given in the OWL2 profiles, and outline the architecture of the ontology-based data access system Ontop.
