Abstract

The formal representation of depicted concepts and events makes it possible to infer new, implicit statements. For multimedia contents, reasoning enables automated scene interpretation, advanced classification and indexing, and customized data querying. Several reasoning services have been defined and investigated for a variety of description logics of different expressivity, many of which are implemented in reasoners to check the consistency of statements, determine concept satisfiability, calculate the subsumption hierarchy, and perform instance checking.
