To be clear, I think you mean the following:

If a DL/Direct Semantics reasoner cannot be applied, then is the semantics of 
the model considered too poor for a useful application?

Clearly, industry says No to that as a general question as there are FOL 
languages, models and tools, for example. WRT OWL itself, the RDF Semantics 
spec is a formal definition of what you’re calling OWL Full, so it’s semantics 
are clear. See https://www.w3.org/TR/owl2-rdf-based-semantics/

However, there are clearly usage scenarios where the answer is Yes (e.g. if 
going beyond DL means the reasoner fails and your business app somehow depends 
on it working and that reasoner is the best tool available to you). 

There is no always-the-case answer to these questions, just like there’s no 
always-the-case when deciding between using a graph database, an RDB and a Big 
Data tool.

Jan mentioned SHACL, and one of the best things about SHACL, and it’s 
predecessor SPIN, is that apps can make use of “rules” to make inferences that 
are not limited to a specific logic.  You can even use a programming language 
underneath to do complex math and use that in your inferences. 

Holger’s also got a nice demo of using Machine Learning to infer business rules 
from a SHACL model and data, so we’re exploring lots of tools for inferring 
data as part of a knowledge graph-based environment.

Cheers,
David
