Aggregated objects play an important role in many knowledge representation applications. For the adequate representation of aggregated objects, it is crucial to represent part-whole relations. We discuss properties of part-whole relations and extend the description logic ALC with means for the adequate representation of part-whole relations and thus of aggregated objects.
