I am learning web ontology and Description logic. I came across this and was quite confused about what should be the answer:
This is the knowledge base. Where Parent(X,Y) means X is parent of Y.
Parent(X,Y).
Parent(Y,Z).
Parent(X,Z).
Parent(Z,M).
Manager(Y).
¬Manager(M).
Does these facts imply fact:
X∈(∃Parent.(Manager⊓∃Parent.¬Manager))
P.S this is not homework.
Short answer, no.
What can be inferred:
∃Parent.⊤ (X has some parent, namely Y and Z)
∃Parent.Manager (X has some parent that is a manager, namely Y but not Z)
∃Parent.(Manager ⊓ ∃Parent.⊤) (X has some parent that is a manager and has a parent, namely Y)
Z
is not a manager, thus you could only infer
∃Parent.∃Parent.⊤ (X has some parent (Y and Z) that has a parent
∃Parent.∃Parent.¬Manager (X has some parent (Z) that has a parent (M) which is not a manager)
