چکیده

Since achieving W3C recommendation status in 2004, the Web Ontology Language (OWL) has been successfully applied to many problems in computer science. Practical experience with OWL has been quite positive in general; however, it has also revealed room for improvement in several areas. We systematically analyze the identified shortcomings of OWL, such as expressivity issues, problems with its syntaxes, and deficiencies in the definition of OWL species. Furthermore, we present an overview of OWL 2—an extension to and revision of OWL that is currently being developed within the W3C OWL Working Group. Many aspects of OWL have been thoroughly reengineered in OWL 2, thus producing a robust platform for future development of the language.

Next Step for NoHR: OWL 2 QL

The Protégé plug-in NoHR allows the user to combine an OWL 2 EL ontology with a set of non-monotonic (logic programming) rules – suitable, e.g., to express defaults and exceptions – and query the combined knowledge base (KB). The formal approach realized in NoHR is polynomial (w.r.t. data complexity) and it has been shown that even very large health care ontologies, such as SNOMED CT, can be ha...

Next Steps for OWL

OWL 1.1 is a simple extension of the OWL DL species of the W3C OWLWeb Ontology Language. OWL 1.1 has been designed to provide some interesting and useful expressive additions to OWL DL while retaining the desirable characteristics of OWL DL, including decidability and implementability.

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 ...

XOEM plus OWL-based STEP Product Information Uniform Description and Implementation

Aimed at the current inconsistencies in the OWLbased STEP description, the mapping rules between EXPRESS and OWL are established on the base of uniform semantic model named XOEM+OWL, then the implementation method of STEP-OWL converter is put forward and the corresponding examples are shown.

OntoSTEP: OWL-DL ontology for STEP

The Standard for the Exchange of Product model data (STEP) [1] contains product information mainly related to geometry. The modeling language used to develop this standard, EXPRESS, does not have logical formalism that will enable rigorous semantics. In this paper we present an OWL-DL (Web Ontology Language Description Logic) [2] version of STEP (OntoSTEP) that will allow logic reasoning and in...
