Abstract
With the adoption of the recent SPARQL 1.1 standard, RDF databases are capable of directly answering more expressive queries than simple conjunctive queries. In this paper we exploit such capabilities to answer conjunctive queries (CQs) under ontologies expressed in the description logic called linear EL-lin, a restricted form of EL. In particular, we show a query answering algorithm that rewrites a given CQ into a conjunctive regular path query (CRPQ) which, evaluated on the given instance, returns the correct answer. Our technique is based on the representation of infinite unions of CQs by non-deterministic finite-state automata. Our results achieve optimal data complexity, as well as producing rewritings straightforwardly implementable in SPARQL 1.1.
