Popis: We investigate ontology-based data access to temporal data. We consider temporal ontologies given in linear temporal logic LTL interpreted over discrete time ( Z , ) . Queries are given in LTL or MFO ( ) , monadic first-order logic with a built-in linear order. Our concern is first-order rewritability of ontology-mediated queries (OMQs) consisting of a temporal ontology and a query. By taking account of the temporal operators used in the ontology and distinguishing between ontologies given in full LTL and its core, Krom and Horn fragments, we identify a hierarchy of OMQs with atomic queries by proving rewritability into either FO ( ) , first-order logic with the built-in linear order, or FO ( , ≡ ) , which extends FO ( ) with the standard arithmetic predicates x ≡ 0 ( mod n ) , for any fixed n > 1 , or FO ( RPR ) , which extends FO ( ) with relational primitive recursion. In terms of circuit complexity, FO ( , ≡ ) - and FO ( RPR ) -rewritability guarantee OMQ answering in uniform and, respectively, . We obtain similar hierarchies for more expressive types of queries: positive LTL-formulas, monotone MFO ( ) - and arbitrary MFO ( ) -formulas. Our results are directly applicable if the temporal data to be accessed is one-dimensional; moreover, they lay foundations for investigating ontology-based access using combinations of temporal and description logics over two-dimensional temporal data.
