BestMap: Context-Aware SKOS Vocabulary Mappings in OWL 2
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes an approach to SKOS vocabulary mapping that takes into account the context in which vocabulary terms are used in annotations. The standard vocabulary mapping properties in SKOS only allow for binary mappings between concepts. In the BestMap ontology, annotated resources are the contexts in which annotations coincide and allow for a more fine grained control over when mappings hold. A mapping between two vocabularies is defined as a class that groups descriptions of a resource. We use the OWL 2 features for property chains, disjoint properties, union, intersection and negation together with careful use of equivalence and subsumption to specify these mappings.

Case Frames as Contextual Mappings to Case Law in BestPortal
This paper introduces case frames as a way to provide a more meaningful structure to vocabulary mappings used to bridge the gap between laymen and legal descriptions of court proceedings. Case frames both reduce the ambiguity of queries, and improve the ability of users to formulate good quality queries. We extend the BestMap ontology with a formalisation of case frame based mappings in OWL 2, ...
متن کاملSKOS with OWL: Don't be Full-ish!
The Simple Knowledge Organisation System (SKOS) is a vocabulary intended for the representation of Knowledge Organisation Systems (KOS) such as thesauri, term lists and controlled vocabularies. The SKOS data model is defined using an RDF schema so that it fits in with existing Semantic Web technologies. We speculate how SKOS artefacts may be used in combination with other knowledge artefacts, s...
متن کاملLifting EMMeT to OWL Getting the Most from SKOS
SKOS and OWL are quite different but complimentary languages. SKOS is targeted at “cognitive” or “navigational” representations, that is, thesauri, controlled vocabularies, and the like. OWL is targeted at logical representations of conceptual knowledge. To a first approximation, SKOS vocabularies try to capture useful relations between concepts whereas OWL ontologies aim to capture true relati...
متن کاملAssessing and Improving SKOS Mapping Quality
The Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) is popular for expressing controlled vocabularies for their use in Semantic Web applications. Using SKOS, concepts can be linked to other concepts and organized into hierarchies inside a single terminology system. Meanwhile, expressing mappings between concepts in different terminology systems is also possible with SKOS mapping properties. This po...
متن کاملExploring and Exploiting(?) the Awkward Connections Between SKOS and OWL
In the Semantic Web, the Web Ontology Language (OWL) vocabulary is used for the representation of formal ontologies, while the Simple Knowledge Organisation System (SKOS) is a vocabulary designed for thesauri or concept taxonomies without formal semantics. Despite their different nature, on the Web these two vocabularies are often used together. Here, we try to explore and exploit the joint usa...
