Abstract
A referring expression in linguistics is any noun phrase identifying an object in a way that will be useful to interlocutors. In the context of conjunctive queries over a description logic knowledge base (DL KB), typically constant symbols (usually treated as rigid designators) are used as referring expressions in a certain answer to the query. In this paper, we begin to explore how this can be usefully generalized by allowing more general DL concept descriptions, called singular referring expressions, to replace constants in this role. In particular, we lay the foundation for singular referring expressions in conjunctive query answers over a DL KB using a member of the CFD family of DL dialects. In the process, we introduce a specific language for referring concept types, and present initial results on how conjunctive queries with referring concept types can be efficiently supported.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
