The authors define a general preferential semantic framework for reasoning with object typicality in description logics. The authors propose the use of feature vectors to rank concept members according to their defining and characteristic features, which provides a modelling mechanism to specify typicality in composite concepts.enObject typicalityDescription logicsPreferential semanticsGlobalist cognitive modelDescription logicsSemantic modellingUnitary modelConference PresentationBritz, K., Heidema, J., & Meyer, T.
