چکیده

This paper considers the composition of tuples from two relations in order to derive additional tuples of one of these relations. Our purpose is to determine when the composition is plausible and for which relation the new tuples are derived. We first present a formal definition of composition and our extension to it. We next define conditions on the domains and ranges of the relations that are necessary for extended composition to occur. We then show how a set of underlying attributes, independently specified for each relation, is sufficient for determining plausible composition, when the primitives are combined according to an algebra. Finally, we apply our method for extended composition to a representative group of semantic relations and evaluate the results.

Multi-Strategy Semantic Web Reasoning for Medical Knowledge Bases

Semantic Web technology offers excellent advantages for real-world medical knowledge bases, both on and off the Web. Based on ontologies from (bio)medical domains, OWL inferencing enhances knowledge bases with new facts, while deductive rules, written in semantic rule languages, supply additional inferences based on deterministic knowledge from e.g., Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG). We argue...

Iranian EFL Learners’ Lexical Inferencing Strategies at Both Text and Sentence levels

Lexical inferencing is one of the most important strategies in vocabulary learning and it plays an important role in dealing with unknown words in a text. In this regard, the aim of this study was to determine the lexical inferencing strategies used by Iranian EFL learners when they encounter unknown words at both text and sentence levels. To this end, forty lower intermediate students were div...

SeDAn: a Plausible Reasoning Approach for Semantics-based Data Analytics in Healthcare

Plausible Reasoning (PR) is an inferencing mechanism to derive solutions when dealing with incomplete knowledge. When developing data-driven models for clinical decision support, the completeness of the data is always a consideration. PR provides a practical approach to extend the knowledge-base of a clinical decision support system by abstracting plausible assertions from heath data. Implement...

Bossam: An Extended Rule Engine for OWL Inferencing

In this paper, we describe our effort to build an inference engine for OWL reasoning based on the rule engine paradigm. Rule engines are very practical and effective for their representational simplicity and optimized performance, but their limited expressiveness and web unfriendliness restrict their usability for OWL reasoning. We enumerate and succinctly describe extended features implemented...

L2 Learners’ Lexical Inferencing: Perceptual Learning Style Preferences, Strategy Use, Density of Text, and Parts of Speech as Possible Predictors

This study was intended first to categorize the L2 learners in terms of their learning style preferences and second to investigate if their learning preferences are related to lexical inferencing. Moreover, strategies used for lexical inferencing and text related issues of text density and parts of speech were studied to determine their moderating effects and the best predictors of lexical infe...
