Semantic data mining: A survey of ontology-based approaches

Abstract

Semantic Data Mining refers to the data mining tasks that systematically incorporate domain knowledge, especially for mal semantics, into the process. In the past, many research efforts have attested the benefits of incorporating domain knowledge in data mining. At the same time, the proliferation of knowledge engineering has enriched the family of domain knowledge, espe cially formal semantics and Semantic Web ontologies. Ontology is an explicit specification of conceptualization and a formal way to define the semantics of knowledge and data. The formal structure of ontology makes it a nature way to encode domain knowledgefor the data mining use. In this survey paper, we introduce general concepts of semantic data mining. We investigate why ontology has the potential to help semantic data mining and how formal semantics in ontologies can be incorporated into the data mining process. We provide detail discussions for the advances and state of art of ontology-based approaches and an introduction of approaches that are based on other form of

A Novel Framework for Data Extraction from Multiple Repositories and Generation of Ontologies using Inverted Indexing Technique

“…Ontologies are the key technologies used in the semantic web. Ontologies are usually built on concepts which have finite set of terms and their relationships, properties, constraints and possibly axioms [6]. It is a Conceptual network linked to each other by semantic taxonomic relationships and enables the communication with a unique standardized vocabulary.…”

Semantic Web in Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery: A Comprehensive Survey

“…Dating back to 2006, this survey does not reflect recent research works and trends, such as the advent and growth of Linked Open Data. More recent surveys on the second category, i.e., Semantic Web Mining, have been published by Sridevi et al [6], Quboa et al [7], Sivakumar et al [8], and Dou et al [9].…”

“…This tool is used in several LOD enabled data mining approaches, e.g., [56][57][58][59]. Several APIs for extracting semantic richness from text exist, like Alchemy API, 9 OpenCalais API, 10 Textwise 9 http://www.alchemyapi.com/api/.…”

Towards Massive Data and Sparse Data in Adaptive Micro Open Educational Resource Recommendation: A Study on Semantic Knowledge Base Construction and Cold Start Problem

“…For the pattern level, the ontologies are constructed based on conceptual graphs, as we briefly described in Section 3.1.1. By this means, the ontologies represent the formal dimensions of the data processing workflow, and can drive data processing with a priori knowledge, thereby reducing the search space [23,31].…”
