چکیده

The OWL Web Ontology Language is a new formal language for representing ontologies in the Semantic Web. OWL has features from several families of representation languages, including primarily Description Logics and frames. OWL also shares many characteristics with RDF, the W3C base of the Semantic Web. In this paper we discuss how the philosophy and features of OWL can be traced back to these older formalisms, with modifications driven by several other constraints on OWL. Several interesting problems have arisen where these influences on OWL have clashed.

An 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 ...

SPARQL2OWL: Towards Bridging the Semantic Gap Between RDF and OWL

Several large databases in biology are now making their information available through the Resource Description Framework (RDF). RDF can be used for large datasets and provides a graph-based semantics. The Web Ontology Language (OWL), another Semantic Web standard, provides a more formal, modeltheoretic semantics. While some approaches combine RDF and OWL, for example for querying, knowledge in ...

Optimization Techniques for Retrieving Resources Described in OWL/RDF Documents: First Results

Practical description logic systems play an evergrowing role for knowledge representation and reasoning research even in distributed environments. In particular, the often-discussed semantic web initiative is based on description logics (DLs) and defines important challenges for current system implementations. Recently, several standards for representation languages have been proposed (RDF, OWL...

RDF /RDF-S Providing Framework Support to OWL Ontologies

It is important to represent the contents of WWW in a structure which can render interpretability to both human and machine and make the WWW, semantic. Thus some taxonomy is needed to make representations of the web contents which can be machine readable and usable .This taxonomy can be thought of as ontology. This paper describes how RDF and RDF-S can act as a basic support to Web ontology lan...

Probabilistic Modeling and OWL: A User Oriented Introduction to P-SHIQ(D)

This paper presents a non-technical, user oriented introduction into P-SHIQ(D)— an expressive formalism that allows modelers to incorporate probabilistic background knowledge in OWL ontologies. Instead of providing formal description of the language, its syntax, semantics, and reasoning procedures, we explain the basic principles, potentially useful practices and pitfalls of probabilistic model...
