The goal of this study is to suggest a method for turning an ontology into a hidden Markov model (HMM). Ontology properties (relationships between classes) and ontology classes are taken as HMM symbols and states, respectively. Knowledge is represented in many different fields using the central element of the Semantic Web dubbed ontology. The authors employed machine learning technologies like HMM to add knowledge to these ontologies or to extract knowledge from within them. The meaning obtained from ontologies is not described during this task. The ontology triples that were extracted using SPARQL queries are used in this paper to transform the ontology into an HMM in order to handle this semantic. The Pizza ontology has been used to implement this method, which is based on lightweight ontologies.
The Semantic Web provides approaches and tools that allow for the processing and analysis of online content, including multimedia resources. Multimedia resources like videos, audios, and photos are increasingly common in contemporary Web content. Cinematographic works (also known as film contents) stand out among these resources as one of the most recent attractions on the Internet. An important tool employed recently in the semantic indexation of digital resources and film content is ontological annotation. This paper studies the current multimedia ontologies related to the film contents on the web. The relevant indicators were discussed comparatively, and some open issues were reviewed in details. In this way, the authors managed to integrate the metadata related to online films practically into the web of data.
Abstract. This paper presents a sociocultural knowledge ontology (OntoSOC) modeling approach. Onto-SOC modeling approach is based on Engeström"s Human Activity Theory (HAT). That Theory allowed us to identify fundamental concepts and relationships between them. The top-down precess has been used to define differents sub-concepts. The modeled vocabulary permits us to organise data, to facilitate information retrieval by introducing a semantic layer in social web platform architecture, we project to implement. This platform can be considered as a « collective memory » and Participative and Distributed Information System (PDIS) which will allow Cameroonian communities to share an co-construct knowledge on permanent organized activities.
The evolution of ontological engineering leaded authors to use some techniques of software engineering to design ontologies. Are obtained from these techniques the monolithic or modularized Ontologies. When is difficult to reuse some concepts of monolithic ontologies, modularized Ontologies facilitate ontology management, understandability and reuse. This paper aims to survey on ontology modularization techniques and their contribution in biomedical ontologies design. Modularization reposed on appropriated techniques and some challenges related to ontology reused, scalable querying, collaborative authoring, and distributed reasoning. For most of disease ontologies, more especially ontologies which reused IDO, these challenges are not considered, and most of them are implemented with OWL language and the novel mode to construct ontology’s purpose is to facilitate reuse and interoperability of ontologies ensured by modularization.
We propose and evaluate MoRAI (Mobile Read Access in Intermittent internet connectivity), a distributed peer-topeer architecture organized in three levels dedicated to RDF data exchanges by mobile contributors. We present the conceptual and technical aspects of this architecture as well as a theoretical analysis of the different characteristics. We then evaluated it experimentally and results show the relevance of considering geographical positions during data exchanges and of integrating RDF graph replication to ensure data availability in terms of requests completion rate and resistance to crash scenarios.
Considering the evolution of the semantic wiki engine based platforms, two main approaches could be distinguished: Ontologies for Wikis (OfW) and Wikis for Ontologies (WfO). OfW vision requires existing ontologies to be imported. Most of them use the RDF-based (Resource Description Framework) systems in conjunction with the standard SQL (Structured Query Language) database to manage and query semantic data. But, relational database is not an ideal type of storage for semantic data. A more natural data model for SMW (Semantic MediaWiki) is RDF, a data format that organizes information in graphs rather than in fixed database tables. This paper presents an ontology based architecture, which aims to implement this idea. The architecture mainly includes three layered functional architectures: Web User Interface Layer, Semantic Layer and Persistence Layer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
