Abstract

ERDF stable model semantics is a recently proposed semantics for ERDF ontologies and a faithful extension of RDFS semantics on RDF graphs. In this paper, we elaborate on the computability and complexity issues of the ERDF stable model semantics. We show that decidability under this semantics cannot be achieved, unless ERDF ontologies of restricted syntax are considered. Therefore, we propose a slightly modified semantics for ERDF ontologies, called ERDF #n-stable model semantics . We show that entailment under this semantics is in general decidable and it also extends RDFS entailment. An equivalence statement between the two semantics and various complexity results are provided.
