Abstract
This chapter provides necessary terminology and knowledge that is used throughout this monograph. In particular, it gives an overview of relevant bits of first-order logic, propositional logic, and description logics. In the context of the introduction to description logics, a technical overview of the paradigm of OBDA and the most prominent logic for OBDA, DL-Lite, is presented. Having this logical machinery, the notion of representation as used in this monograph is stated more formally. The preliminaries are concluded by a short introduction to the region connection calculus (RCC), which is considered in Chaps. 3 and 4.
