Abstract

We study the problem of fitting a description logic (DL) ontology to a given set of positive and negative examples that take the form of an ABox and a Boolean query. While previous work has investigated this problem for the expressive DLs ALC and ALCI, we here focus on the Horn DLs EL and ELI, as well as their extensions with the bottom concept. As the query language, we consider atomic queries (AQs), conjunctive queries (rooted CQs), and unions thereof (rooted UCQs). We provide characterization of the existence of a fitting ontology based on simulations, use them to develop decision procedures, and clarify the exact computational complexity. For AQs, the problem is in PTime for both EL and ELI. For rooted CQs and UCQ, it is Sigma_P^2-complete for EL and ExpTime-complete for ELI. Adding the bottom concept does not change any of these complexities. Interestingly, moving from ALC and ALCI to EL and ELI introduces additional technical challenges rather than simplifying the matter.
