Abstract

We investigate the temporal extension of the description logic DL-Litebool(RN) with the until operator on concepts, rigid (time-independent) and local (time-dependent) roles, and rigid TBox axioms. Using an embedding into the one-variable fragment of first-order temporal logic and the quasimodel technique, we prove that (i) the satisfiability problem for the resulting logic is PSpace-complete, and that (ii) by weakening until to sometime in the future we obtain an NP-complete logic, which matches the complexities of the propositional linear-time temporal logics with the corresponding temporal operators.
