Download or read book Modular Ontologies written by Heiner Stuckenschmidt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-05-25 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book constitutes a collection of research achievements mature enough to provide a firm and reliable basis on modular ontologies. It gives the reader a detailed analysis of the state of the art of the research area and discusses the recent concepts, theories and techniques for knowledge modularization. The 13 papers presented in this book were all carefully reviewed before publication. They have been organized in three parts: Part I gives a general introduction to the idea and issues characterizing modularization and offers an in-depth analysis of properties, criteria and knowledge import techniques for modularization. Part II describes four major research proposals for creating modules from an existing ontology either by partitioning an ontology into a collection of modules or by extracting one or more modules from the ontology. Part III reports on collaborative approaches where modules that pre-exist are linked together through mappings to form a virtual large ontology.

Download or read book Theory and Applications of Ontology Computer Applications written by Roberto Poli and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-02 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ontology was once understood to be the philosophical inquiry into the structure of reality: the analysis and categorization of ‘what there is’. Recently, however, a field called ‘ontology’ has become part of the rapidly growing research industry in information technology. The two fields have more in common than just their name. Theory and Applications of Ontology is a two-volume anthology that aims to further an informed discussion about the relationship between ontology in philosophy and ontology in information technology. It fills an important lacuna in cutting-edge research on ontology in both fields, supplying stage-setting overview articles on history and method, presenting directions of current research in either field, and highlighting areas of productive interdisciplinary contact. Theory and Applications of Ontology: Computer Applications presents ontology in ways that philosophers are not likely to find elsewhere. The volume offers an overview of current research in ontology, distinguishing basic conceptual issues, domain applications, general frameworks, and mathematical formalisms. It introduces the reader to current research on frameworks and applications in information technology in ways that are sure to invite reflection and constructive responses from ontologists in philosophy.

Download or read book Semantic Web Information Management written by Roberto de Virgilio and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-01-08 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Databases have been designed to store large volumes of data and to provide efficient query interfaces. Semantic Web formats are geared towards capturing domain knowledge, interlinking annotations, and offering a high-level, machine-processable view of information. However, the gigantic amount of such useful information makes efficient management of it increasingly difficult, undermining the possibility of transforming it into useful knowledge. The research presented by De Virgilio, Giunchiglia and Tanca tries to bridge the two worlds in order to leverage the efficiency and scalability of database-oriented technologies to support an ontological high-level view of data and metadata. The contributions present and analyze techniques for semantic information management, by taking advantage of the synergies between the logical basis of the Semantic Web and the logical foundations of data management. The book’s leitmotif is to propose models and methods especially tailored to represent and manage data that is appropriately structured for easier machine processing on the Web. After two introductory chapters on data management and the Semantic Web in general, the remaining contributions are grouped into five parts on Semantic Web Data Storage, Reasoning in the Semantic Web, Semantic Web Data Querying, Semantic Web Applications, and Engineering Semantic Web Systems. The handbook-like presentation makes this volume an important reference on current work and a source of inspiration for future development, targeting academic and industrial researchers as well as graduate students in Semantic Web technologies or database design.

Download or read book Web Reasoning and Rule Systems written by Pascal Hitzler and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-20 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Semantic Web aims at allowing knowledge to be freely accessed and - changed by software. It is now widely recognized that if the Semantic Web is to contain deep knowledge, the need for new representation and reasoning te- niques is critical. These techniques need to ?nd the right trade-o? between - pressiveness, scalability, and robustness to deal with the inherently incomplete, contradictory, and uncertain nature of knowledge on the Web. The annual International Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems (RR) addresses these needs and has grown into a major international forum for the discussion and dissemination of new results concerning Web Reasoning and Rule Systems. The ?rst three International Conferences on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems (see http://www.rr-conference.org), held in Innsbruck, A- tria (2007), Karlsruhe, Germany (2008), and Chantilly, Virginia, USA (2009), received enthusiastic support from the Web Reasoning community. This volume contains the papers presented at the Fourth International C- ference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems (RR 2010), which was held in Bressanone/Brixen, Italy, September 22-24, 2010, and which continued the - cellence of the RR series. It contains nine full papers, six short papers, four poster/position papers, one PhD paper, and two system descriptions, which wereselectedoutof31submissionsfollowinga rigorousreviewingprocess,where each submission was reviewed by at least three program committee members.

Download or read book Modular Ontologies for Spatial Information written by Joana Hois and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2013 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spatial information describes types, relations, and various different aspects of space. This PhD thesis investigates how modular ontologies can model spatial information. Particularly, different perspectives on space are analyzed. A perspectival framework for spatial ontology modules is presented that allows the integration and combination of different facets of spatial information. This work discusses perspectives on space by distinguishing and categorizing quantitative, qualitative, abstract, domain-specific, and modal types of spatial information. Application examples are presented for spatial natural language interpretation, image recognition, and architectural design. The results are achieved by theoretical analyses of spatial domains as well as empirical and experimental findings from different disciplines related to the spatial domain. Technically, methods from formal ontology and ontological engineering are applied.
