Detection and Transformation of Ontology Patterns

Abstract

Abstract. As more and more ontology designers follow the patternbased approach, automatic analysis of those structures and their exploitation in semantic tools is becoming more doable and important. We present an approach to ontology transformation based on transformation patterns, which could assist in many semantic tasks (such as reasoning, modularisation or matching). Ontology transformation can be applied on parts of ontologies called ontology patterns. Detection of ontology patterns can be specific for a given use case, or generic. We first present generic detection patterns along with some experimental results, and then detection patterns specific for ontology matching. Furthermore, we detail the ontology transformation phase along with an example of transformation pattern based on an alignment pattern.

Development of ontological approach in e-learning when studying information technologies

“…In articles [7,8], the approach to learning, which is capable of generating semantically connected collections, is proposed. The process of learning includes collecting the documents with semantic connection of concepts.…”

“…Numerous discussions and publications [7,9,14,17,19,21,22,24], connected with the development of innovative EC, indicate urgent need for development of the concept and methodology of constructing the ontologically controlled EC, implying, in particular, the possibility of automation of this process for the purpose of reduction of human and time resources, involved in the solution of this problem.…”

A Framework for Developing Manufacturing Service Capability Information Model

“…Canonicalization has been studied in several works. [5,6] provide workable methods and tools including key enablers. They provide well defined XML schema for the pattern transformation definition (including pattern definitions and transformation rules).…”

Levels of intelligent information access using ontology transformations

“…They do so by taking transformation instructions (specified as a set of rules or procedures) and an ontology as an input. An advantage worth noting is that the same conceptualization can be modeled and transformed in various ways [10].…”
