Abstract
Description Logics (DLs) are the logical formalism underlying the standard web ontology language OWL 2. DLs have formal semantics which are the basis for many powerful reasoning services. This paper provides an overview of basic topics in the field of Description Logics by surveying the introductory literature and course material with a focus on DL reasoning services. The resulting compilation also gives a historical perspective on DLs as a research area.
