The Logical Difference for EL: From Terminologies Towards TBoxes

In this paper we are concerned with the logical difference problem between ontologies. The logical difference is the set of subsumption queries that follow from a first ontology but not from a second one. We revisit our solution to logical difference problem for EL-terminologies based on finding simulations between hypergraph representations of the terminologies, and we investigate a possible extension of the method to general EL-TBoxes.
