چکیده

In environmental databases there is a plethora of data, described in different terminologies, stored in different data structures and referring to distinct time periods and locations. Thus it is difficult for non-experts to find the data they are looking for. Adding an ontology-layer, which provides semantic enhancement, provides the underlying data structure for an open and intuitive search interface for non-experts. In this paper, we present the design of a bilingual eco-ontology using fuzzy mappings and loosely bridged ontologies which introduce a semantic layer in an existing environmental database storing data in German and French.

Query Architecture Expansion in Web Using Fuzzy Multi Domain Ontology

Due to the increasing web, there are many challenges to establish a general framework for data mining and retrieving structured data from the Web. Creating an ontology is a step towards solving this problem. The ontology raises the main entity and the concept of any data in data mining. In this paper, we tried to propose a method for applying the "meaning" of the search system, But the problem ...

Automated Alignment and Extraction of a Bilingual Ontology for Cross-Language Domain-Specific Applications

This paper presents a novel approach to ontology alignment and domain ontology extraction from two existing knowledge bases: WordNet and HowNet. These two knowledge bases are automatically aligned to construct a bilingual ontology based on the co-occurrence of words in a bilingual parallel corpus. The bilingual ontology achieves greater structural and semantic information coverage from these tw...

Designing Semantic Virtual Reality Applications

Nowadays, the development of a Virtual Reality (VR) application is still very time-consuming and hard for a non VR-expert. In addition, the VR applications often lack the necessary semantic information to make the VR application more intuitive and more attractive for the end-user. This paper describes a new approach for designing VR applications using ontologies, which make the design of the VR...

Automatic Alignment and Extraction of Bilingual Domain Ontology for Medical Domain Web Search

This paper proposes an approach to automated ontology alignment and domain ontology extraction from two knowledge bases. First, WordNet and HowNet knowledge bases are aligned to construct a bilingual universal ontology based on the co-occurrence of the words in a parallel corpus. The bilingual universal ontology has the merit that it contains more structural and semantic information coverage fr...
