Usability of a Visual Language for DL Concept Descriptions
نویسنده
چکیده
The development and use of ontologies may require users with no training in formal logic to handle complex concept descriptions. To aid such users, we propose a new visualization framework called “model outlines”, where more emphasis is placed on the semantics of concept descriptions than on their syntax. We have conducted a usability study comparing model outlines and Manchester OWL, with results that indicate the potential benefits of our visual language for understanding concept descriptions.

متن کاملVisual Semantic Modeling of Digital Libraries
The current interest from non-experts who wish to build digital libraries (DLs) is strong worldwide. However, since DLs are complex systems, it usually takes considerable time and effort to create and tailor a DL to satisfy specific needs and requirements of target communities/societies. What is needed is a simplified modeling process and rapid generation of DLs. To enable this, DLs can be mode...
متن کاملConcept Projection in Algebras for Computing Certain Answer Descriptions
We introduce a projection operator over concepts in a given description logic that produces least subsumers of concepts in a language fragment that satisfies additional syntactic requirements specified as a parameter of the operator. The operator complements existing operators for concept selection and concept ordering that have been proposed in earlier work [3, 4]. We show how, altogether, the...
