چکیده
Background and our research goal Divergent exploration of an ontology Background ■Ontology: It is important that the ontology captures the essential conceptual structure of the target world as generally as possible. ■Domain experts often want to understand the target world from the domain-specific viewpoints in which they are interested. In many cases their interests are different, even if they are experts in the same domain. Ontologies are sometimes regarded as verbose and divergent descriptions by domain experts. Our research goal Exploration of an ontology 1) Exploration of multi-perspective conceptual chains depending on viewpoints ■The users choose arbitrary concepts according to the their intention to obtain what we call “multi-perspective conceptual chains”. 2) Visualizations of conceptual chains as a conceptual map ■The system visualizes the conceptual chains in a user-friendly form (i.e. Conceptual Maps). Visualizations as conceptual maps

Understanding an Ontology through Divergent Exploration
It is important that the ontology captures the essential conceptual structure of the target world as generally as possible. However, such ontologies are sometimes regarded as weak and shallow by domain experts because they often want to understand the target world from the domain-specific viewpoints in which they are interested. Therefore, it is highly desirable to have not only knowledge struc...
متن کاملAn Executive Approach Based On the Production of Fuzzy Ontology Using the Semantic Web Rule Language Method (SWRL)
Today, the need to deal with ambiguous information in semantic web languages is increasing. Ontology is an important part of the W3C standards for the semantic web, used to define a conceptual standard vocabulary for the exchange of data between systems, the provision of reusable databases, and the facilitation of collaboration across multiple systems. However, classical ontology is not enough ...
متن کاملLexico-Logical Acquisition of OWL DL Axioms An Integrated Approach to Ontology Refinement
In order to overcome human and time resource problems in the task of ontology design, we propose to combine the LExO approach to learning expressive ontology axioms from textual definitions with Relational Exploration – a technique based on the well-known attribute exploration algorithm from FCA which is used to interactively clarify underspecified logical dependencies. By forcing particular mo...
متن کاملExplaining by Example: Model Exploration for Ontology Comprehension
In this paper, we describe an approach for ontology comprehension support called model exploration in which models for ontologies are generated and presented interactively. We also discuss the issues involved in using tableau reasoners for the generation of models for model exploration and report on a user study we conducted on our prototype implementation, SuperModel, to evaluate its effective...
متن کاملDesigning an Ontology for Knowledge Discovery in Iran’s Vaccine
Ontology is a requirement engineering product and the key to knowledge discovery. It includes the terminology to describe a set of facts, assumptions, and relations with which the detailed meanings of vocabularies among communities can be determined. This is a qualitative content analysis research. This study has made use of ontology for the first time to discover the knowledge of vaccine in Ir...
