For plain EL, $\boxed{\text{every concept is satisfiable with respect to every EL TBox}}$. On a one-element domain, interpret every atomic description logic concept as the whole domain and every description logic role as the full binary relation. A structural induction makes every EL description logic concept denote that element. Every general concept inclusion is consequently true, including cyclic ones. The decision procedure can therefore always answer yes on well-formed inputs.

For EL with bottom, concept satisfiability with respect to general TBoxes is $\boxed{\text{P-complete}}$ under the usual logarithmic-space reductions. Polynomial-time completion propagates atomic inclusions, conjunction consequences and existential requirements; deriving $\perp$ for the queried description logic concept detects unsatisfiability. There are polynomially many such labels and normalized relationships to propagate.

For the lower bound, encode a monotone Boolean circuit with a starting description logic concept $S$. Give each input gate labelled one an inclusion $S⊑G_i$. Encode an AND gate by $G_i\sqcap G_j⊑G_k$, and an OR gate by $G_i⊑G_k$ and $G_j⊑G_k$. Finally add $G_{\mathrm{out}}⊑\perp$. Then $S$ is unsatisfiable exactly when the circuit output is one. The complement version is also P-complete, since P is closed under complement. Thus allowing $\perp$ changes a trivial satisfiability problem into a nontrivial polynomial-time one. The bottom-inclusive convention is also reflected in the ^[ref].

The complete numbered axioms in the rule fragment RL description logic are $\boxed{(1),(3),(4)}$. Their translations to Datalog with constraints areThe first rule is (1). For (3), its existential antecedent needs a two-edge $R$ path ending at an $A$ or $B$ element. Split that disjunction into two Datalog rules, and use a separate variable $w$ for an arbitrary immediate $R$-successor of $x$. The conclusion applies to every such successor, not merely the path witness $y$.

The last rule is a constraint: a ground instance with both premises true makes the knowledge base inconsistent. If an implementation permits only positive Datalog heads, replace $\perp$ by a fresh nullary predicate $Bad$ and separately check that it is never derived. Merely deriving $Bad$ without that check would not express disjointness.

Axiom (2) requires an existential witness in its head and is outside RL description logic. Axiom (5), considered as the whole equivalence, is outside for the same reason in the direction $C⊑\exists P.\top$. If definitions are split before selecting eligible general concept inclusions, its reverse direction is eligible and adds $\boxed{P(x,y)\to C(x)}$. Keep the difference between selecting the complete equivalence and retaining its rule-expressible half explicit. The permitted positions of existential and universal restrictions are specified in the ^[ref].

A rule-oriented description logic fragment designed for translation to function-free Horn rules, allowing constraints but excluding existential witness generation in rule conclusions. In an equivalence, each direction must meet the relevant restrictions. ^[ref]
