We propose a new hybrid approach which extends the expressive power of DL languages by incorporating concrete domains.Without modifying the DL inference algorithms,our approach uses the results of other non-DL inferential engines to reason about terminological knowledge.Constraints involving concrete domains are reasoned and replaced with equivalent concept restrictions exclusively based on the expressive power of the DL languages selected as the DL-based inferential engines.Meanwhile, We outline a system architecture that can support such an approach, which involves a homogeneous knowledge representation and hybrid reasoning.
