Integrating Ontologies and Thesauri to Build RDF Schemas

چکیده
In this paper we present a new approach for building RDF schemas by integrating existing ontologies and structured vocabularies (thesauri). We will present a simple mechanism based on the specification of inclusion relationships between thesaurus terms and ontology concepts and show how these relationships can be exploited to create applicationspecific RDF schemas incorporating the structural views of ontologies and deep classification schemes provided by thesauri.

متن کاملGenTax: A Generic Methodology for Deriving OWL and RDF-S Ontologies from Hierarchical Classifications, Thesauri, and Inconsistent Taxonomies
Hierarchical classifications, thesauri, and informal taxonomies are likely the most valuable input for creating, at reasonable cost, non-toy ontologies in many domains. They contain, readily available, a wealth of category definitions plus a hierarchy, and they reflect some degree of community consensus. However, their transformation into useful ontologies is not as straightforward as it appear...
متن کاملFrom thesauri to Ontologies: A short case study in the food safety area in how ontologies are more powerful than thesauri From thesauri to RDFS to OWL
This short case study will show on the basis of a simple example taken from the Food Safety area, how ontologies differ from thesauri. The example will start with showing an extract from the AGROVOC thesaurus and exploring the information that can be extracted from here. We will then develop this example further in order to show growing functionality and expressive power first in RDFS and final...
متن کاملIntegrating and Exchanging XML Data Using Ontologies
While providing a uniform syntax and a semistructured data model, XML does not express semantics but only structure such as nesting information. In this paper, we consider the problem of data integration and interoperation of heterogeneous XML sources and use an ontology-based framework to address this problem at a semantic level. Ontologies are extensively used for domain knowledge representat...
متن کاملInformation Sharing for the Semantic Web -a Schema Transformation Approach
This paper proposes a framework for transforming and integrating heterogeneous XML data sources, making use of known correspondences from them to ontologies expressed in the form of RDFS schemas. Our algorithms generate schema transformation/integration rules which are implemented in the AutoMed heterogeneous data integration system. The paper first illustrates how correspondences to a single o...
