Diagrammatic Representation of OWL Ontologies

چکیده
Faculty Of Computer Science Master in Computer Science by Mohammad Aminur Rashid The diagrammatic representation in knowledge formalism is widely used in database in the form of ER, UML diagram. The use of diagram help user understand the system easily than logical view. Advanced Knowledge representation formalism like OWL-DL W3C recommendation are logic based which hide well known logical pattern into logical implications (so called axioms). Inspired from the Intelligent Conceptual Modelling Tool (ICOM) [1] which is a CASE tool to design multiple EER diagram with constraints. The tool reason on the model by encoding them in single description logic. The aim of my thesis is to study and use semantic preserving operations to manipulate OWL ontologies in order to isolate the implicit information which can be represented diagrammatically (e.g. ISA , domain/range restrictions, mandatory participations constraints etc).

Graphical Representation of OWL 2 Ontologies through Graphol
We present Graphol, a novel language for the diagrammatic representation of ontologies. Graphol is designed to offer a completely visual representation to the users, thus helping the understanding of people not skilled in logic. At the same time, it provides designers with simple mechanisms for ontology editing, which free them from having to write down complex textual syntax. Through Graphol w...

In this paper we present Graphol, a novel language for the diagrammatic representation of Description Logic (DL) ontologies. Graphol is designed with the aim of offering a completely visual representation to the users (notably, no formulas need to be used in the diagrams), thus helping the understanding of people not skilled in logic. At the same time, it provides designers with simple mechanis...

The database usability experience has shown that visual query languages tend to be superior to textual languages in many aspects. By applying this principle in the context of ontologies, we present GLOO, a graphical query language for OWL-DL ontologies. GLOO maps diagrammatic queries to DL based query languages such as nRQL, which is offered by the OWL-DL reasoner Racer. GLOO hides the complexi...

OWL is the ontology language recommended by the W3C. OWL is heavily based on the knowledge representation languages called Description Logic, which provide the basic representation features of OWL. OWL also includes facilities that integrate it into the mainstream of the Web, including use of IRIs as names, XML Schema datatypes, and ontologies as Web documents, which can then import other OWL o...
