Diagnosing and Repairing Ontological Mismatches

چکیده
The development of the semantic web ensures that the facilitation of agent communication is an issue of increasing importance. It is usually assumed that agents are using the same ontology and hence can understand one another, but the dynamic and distributed nature of the semantic web mean that this is not always a valid assumption. In this paper, we describe a system under construction that can dynamically discover ontological mismatches between agents during communication and then refine them, so that communication between these agents is facilitated.

GALILEO: A System for Automating Ontology Evolution
We describe the GALILEO system, which is designed for automating the evolution of higher-order logic ontologies by incorporating user interaction for diagnosing and repairing faults. In particular, we present our approach to ontological conflict diagnosis, which circumvents problems posed by HOL’s undecidability by means of: formalising modular ontologies as Isabelle locales and preparing the s...
متن کاملAddressing Biological Complexity to Enable Knowledge Sharing
Domain ontologies are now commonly used to enable heterogeneous information resources, such as knowledge-based systems, to communicate with each other. In this article, we present a classification of ontological mismatches, which represent various ways in which knowledge sharing can be impeded by different decisions made by the developers of different resources. We address some of the ways in w...

EcoLexicon is a frame-based terminological knowledge base on the environment that is in the process of being linked to FunGramKB, a multipurpose knowledge base designed for NLP. The approach chosen for the linking is the one known as alignment, which entails that EcoLexicon will become a satellite ontology of the FunGramKB core ontology, though each resource will continue to be independent. Mos...
متن کاملSystem Administration: Monitoring, Diagnosing, and Repairing
We first describe the general goals of system administration explaining the relationship to monitoring, diagnosing, and repairing (MDR). Then, we describe the functional and environmental concerns for a MDR system, and use these concerns to explain how previous approaches have failed to fully address the problem. Next, we describe the major pieces of our approach, and identify the research ques...
متن کاملA Diagnostic Approach to Repairing Constraint Violations in Databasesz
Repairing violations of integrity constraints in databases can be seen as an interleaving diagnostic/repair process. In this paper we introduce a new approach on repairing constraint violations by adopting existing techniques from model{based diagnosis. Violations of integrity constraints observed in an inconsistent database state are diagnosed and repair actions are deduced from diagnoses. By ...
