Abstract

Hybrid $\cal EL$-TBoxes combine general concept inclusions (GCIs), which are interpreted with descriptive semantics, with cyclic concept definitions, which are interpreted with greatest fixpoint (gfp) semantics. We introduce a proof-theoretic approach that yields a polynomial-time decision procedure for subsumption, and present a proof-theoretic computation of least common subsumers in $\cal EL$ w.r.t. hybrid TBoxes.
