Abstract

We give a classification of the complexity of DL-Lite logics extended with role inclusion axioms. We show that the data complexity of instance checking becomes P -hard in the presence of functionality constraints, and coNP -hard if arbitrary number restrictions are allowed, even with primitive concept inclusions. The combined complexity of satisfiability in this case jumps to ExpTime . On the other side, the combined complexity for the logics without number restrictions depends only on the form of concept inclusions and can range from NLogSpace and P to NP; the data complexity for such logics stays in LogSpace .
