Abstract

Widely accepted argumentation techniques are adapted to define a non-standard description logic (DL) reasoning machinery. A DL-based argumentation framework is introduced to reason about potentially inconsistent ontologies. Arguments in this framework can handle different DL families like \(\mathcal{ALC}\), \(\mathcal{EL}\), and DL-Lite. Afterwards, we propose an algorithm based on debugging techniques and classical tableau-based \(\mathcal{ALC}\) satisfiability to build arguments, and discuss about the computational cost of reasoning through the proposed machinery.
