High-Level Why-Not Explanations using Ontologies

Summary: Ontology-based framework for high-level why-not explanations that finds most-general explanations using external or automatically derived (virtual) ontologies. Complexity: existence NP-complete; polynomial algorithms for bounded-arity queries with DL‑Lite ontologies and for virtual ontologies under selection-free or fixed-schema assumptions, with treatment of short explanations.
