Acyclic Query Answering Under Guarded Disjunctive Existential Rules and Consequences to DLs
"... The complete picture of the complexity of conjunctive query answer-ing under guarded disjunctive existential rules has been recently settled. However, in the case of (unions of) acyclic conjunctive queries ((U)ACQs) there are some fundamental questions which are still open. It is the precise aim of ..."
