Abstract
This paper investigates several approaches for qualitative
spatial knowledge representation on the Semantic Web, by
using RCC8 relations. We discuss several issues arising when
representing RCC8 in OWL DL, e.g., the lack of required
features like role reexivity, role Boolean operators, and role
inclusion axioms. We conclude that, although some of these
features are to be included in the new version of the OWL
standard, OWL 2, this language still lacks the expressive
power to support role negations, conjunctions, and disjunctions,
and complex role inclusion axioms.
