Abstract
Knowledge Base Management Systems (KBMSs) are a growing research area finding applicability in
different domains. As a consequence, the demand for ever-larger knowledge bases (KBs) is growing
more and more. Inside this context, knowledge sharing turns out to be a crucial point to be supported
by KBMSs. In this paper, we propose a way of controlling knowledge sharing. We show how we
obtain serializability of transactions providing many different locking granules, which are based on the
semantics of the abstraction relationships. The main benefit of our technique is the high degree of
potential concurrency, to be obtained through a logical partitioning of the KB graph and the provision
of lock types used for each referenced partition. By this way, we capture more of the semantics
contained in a KB graph, through an interpretation of its edges grounded in the abstraction
relationships, and make feasible a full exploitation of all inherent parallelism in a knowledge
representation approach.
