چکیده

Including semantic information in models helps to expose modeling errors early in the design process, engage a designer in a deeper understanding of the model, and standardize concepts and terminology across a development team. It is impractical, however, for model builders to manually annotate every modeling element with semantic properties. This paper demonstrates a correct, scalable and automated method to infer semantic properties using lattice-based ontologies, given relatively few manual annotations. Semantic concepts and their relationships are formalized as a lattice, and relationships within and between components are expressed as a set of constraints and acceptance criteria relative to the lattice. Our inference engine automatically infers properties wherever they are not explicitly specified. Our implementation leverages the infrastructure in the Ptolemy II type system to get efficient and scalable inference and consistency checking. We demonstrate the approach on a non-trivial Ptolemy II model of an adaptive cruise control system.

بررسی هستان شناسی های توسعه یافته مبتنی بر اصول هستان شناسی های منبع باز زیست پزشکی

Background and Aim: Ontologies facilitate data integration, exchange, searching and querying. Open Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) Foundry is a solution for creating reference ontologies. In this foundry, the design of ontologies is based on established principles which allow for their interactions as a single system. The purpose of this study is to determine the main features of ontologies develop...

SMORE – Semantic Markup, Ontology, and RDF Editor

The promise of the Semantic Web is founded on the principle that online content will be semantically annotated, creating machine-understandable content using interlinking ontologies. In keeping with this principle, we introduce SMORE, the Semantic Markup, Ontology, and RDF Editor. It provides users with an integrated environment for creating web pages, email, and other online content while faci...

Scalable Image Annotation by Summarizing Training Samples into Labeled Prototypes

By increasing the number of images, it is essential to provide fast search methods and intelligent filtering of images. To handle images in large datasets, some relevant tags are assigned to each image to for describing its content. Automatic Image Annotation (AIA) aims to automatically assign a group of keywords to an image based on visual content of the image. AIA frameworks have two main sta...

Ontology-Based Interface Specifications for a NLP Pipeline Architecture

The high level of heterogeneity between linguistic annotations usually complicates the interoperability of processing modules within an NLP pipeline. In this paper, a framework for the interoperation of NLP components, based on a data-driven architecture, is presented. Here, ontologies of linguistic annotation are employed to provide a conceptual basis for the tag-set neutral processing of ling...
