A data complexity and rewritability tetrachotomy of ontology-mediated queries with a covering axiom by Gerasimova, Olga, Kikot, Stanislav, Kurucz, Agi, Podolskii, Vladimir, Zakharyaschev, Michael

Our main result is a complete syntactic AC0/NL/P/CONP tetrachotomy of path queries under the assumption that the covering classes are disjoint.…”
