Data access in industry (from Norwegian Petroleum Directorate’s FactPages) show me the wellbores completed before 2008 where Statoil as a drilling operator sampled less than 10 meters of cores 5 days later: SELECT DISTINCT cores.wlbName, cores.lenghtM, wellbore.wlbDrillingOperator, wellbore.wlbCompletionYear FROM ( (SELECT wlbName, wlbNpdidWellbore, (wlbTotalCoreLength * 0.3048) AS lenghtM FROM wellbore core WHERE wlbCoreIntervalUom = ’[ft ]’ ) UNION (SELECT wlbName, wlbNpdidWellbore, wlbTotalCoreLength AS lenghtM FROM wellbore core WHERE wlbCoreIntervalUom = ’[m ]’ ) In STATOIL: ) as cores, ( (SELECT wlbNpdidWellbore, wlbDrillingOperator, wlbCompletionYear FROM wellbore development all 1,000 TB of relational data UNION (SELECT wlbNpdidWellbore, wlbDrillingOperator, wlbCompletionYear FROM wellbore exploration all ) 2,000 tables UNION (SELECT wlbNpdidWellbore, wlbDrillingOperator, wlbCompletionYear FROM wellbore shallow all ) different schemas ) as wellbore WHERE wellbore.wlbNpdidWellbore = cores.wlbNpdidWellbore ... 30–70% of time on data gathering UCL 16.11.15 1

Why are OWL 2 QL OMQs FO-rewritable? � Canonical model (chase) C T , A of a given consistent ( T , A ) homomorphically embeddable into every model of ( T , A ) T , A | = q ⇐ ⇒ C T , A | = q for any CQ q Example: T = { A ⊑ ∃ R − . ∃ R.B, B ⊑ ∃ S.B } A = { A ( a ) } C T , A a a a a R R R R R R S S S A A A A B B B B B B all Horn DLs have canonical models but OMQ ( {∃ R.A ⊑ A } , A ( x )) is not FO-rewritable (recursive datalog needed) � Bounded depth derivation property: there is a function f such that ⇒ C N T , A | = q ⇐ T , A | = q with C N T , A constructed in N = f ( |T | , | q | ) steps ⇔ FO-rewritability f is polynomial for OWL 2 QL UCL 16.11.15 6

Circuit complexity P/poly: the class of problems decidable by polynomial-size circuit families P ⊆ P/poly �⊆ if NP P/poly then P � = NP – almost all Boolean functions with n inputs require circuits of size Θ(2 n /n ) (Shannon 1949) are there complex Boolean functions f n in NP ?

Monotone circuit complexity (Razborov, Raz, et al. 1985) Boolean variables e ij give graph G = ( V, E ) : V = { 1 , . . . , n } , E = � � { i, j } | e ij = 1 (e.g., for k ≤ n 1 / 4 ) – C LIQUE n,k ( � e ) = 1 iff G contains a k -clique √ ( 2 ε k ) monotone circuits: exp monotone formulas: exp formulas with ¬ : superpoly unless NP ⊆ P/poly – M ATCHING n ( � e ) = 1 iff the bipartite graph � e with n vertices in each part has a perfect matching (subset of edges containing every node once) monotone formulas: exp formulas with ¬ : poly UCL 16.11.15 11
