Abstract：The relationship between the description logic SHOIQ(D) and the semantic Web, especially the equality of SHOIQ(D) and semantic Web ontology language, is analyzed. Due to the complexity of SHOIQ(D), only the syntax and the semantics are given at present. Based on the reasoning method of the description logic SHOIQ, the tableaux of SHOIQ is presented at first. Then the reasoning method of SHOIQ(D) based on tableaux of SHOIQ is studied mainly, and a SHOIQ(D)tableaux reasoning algorithm is presented. Finally, the correctness of SHOIQ(D)tableaux algorithm is proved.
