Expressive Languages for Querying the Semantic Web
Summary: Translate SPARQL with RDFS/OWL2 QL entailment, richer navigational patterns, and general recursion into an extension of Datalog with value invention and stratified negation. Show evaluation is intractable in general and identify a natural tractable fragment capturing these enhanced features. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
