Arthritis diseases affects istreatedby Joints Drugs Galen Theorem [Cuenca Grau, Horrocks, Kazakov, Sattler 2007] If L is local w.r.t. each S i, then L guarantees safety. Locality... is a syntactic approximation of conservativity. can be decided efficiently; conservativity often can t. comes in two flavours for refinement/generalisation. is sufficient, but not necessary, for safety. If non-local axioms are found, the user may want to repair L. Example: C 7 JRA GeneticDisorder C 7 JRA GeneticDisorder
