Expressive Resource Descriptions for Ontology-based Information Retrieval
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we introduce an expressive ontology-based model for representing resources with respect to a domain ontology. Our resource model is based on semantic web standards as well as established ontologies and metadata schemas such as SUMO, MPEG-7 and Dublin Core to provide a reference model for ontology-based information retrieval. Based on this expressive resource model, the user can directly specify his information need at an enhanced level of expressiveness. In particular, it does not restrict the description of resources to keywords but allows for the description of resources in terms of factual and terminological axioms as well as events and complex situations. We show that with the proposed resource description model, a large set of different retrieval functionalities can be supported to address complex information needs.

Developing a BIM-based Spatial Ontology for Semantic Querying of 3D Property Information
With the growing dominance of complex and multi-level urban structures, current cadastral systems, which are often developed based on 2D representations, are not capable of providing unambiguous spatial information about urban properties. Therefore, the concept of 3D cadastre is proposed to support 3D digital representation of land and properties and facilitate the communication of legal owners...

Passenger information aims at improving the user-friendliness of public transport systems while influencing passenger route choices to satisfy transit user’s travel requirements. The integration of transit information from multiple agencies is a major challenge in implementation of multi-modal passenger information systems. The problem of information sharing is further compounded by the multi-l...
متن کاملFacetOntology: Expressive Descriptions of Facets in the Semantic Web
The formal structure of the information on the Semantic Web lends itself to faceted browsing, an information retrieval method where users can filter results based on the values of properties (“facets”). Numerous faceted browsers have been created to browse RDF and Linked Data, but these systems use their own ontologies for defining how data is queried to populate their facets. Since the source ...
متن کاملAdvances in Accessing Big Data with Expressive Ontologies
Ontology-based query answering has to be supported w.r.t. secondary memory and very expressive ontologies to meet practical requirements in some applications. Recently, advances for the expressive DL SHI have been made in the dissertation of S. Wandelt for conceptbased instance retrieval on Big Data descriptions stored in secondary memory. In this paper we extend this approach by investigating ...
متن کاملOntology Reasoning in the SHOQ(D) Description Logic
Ontologies are set to play a key rôle in the “Semantic Web” by providing a source of shared and precisely defined terms that can be used in descriptions of web resources. Reasoning over such descriptions will be essential if web resources are to be more accessible to automated processes. SHOQ(D) is an expressive description logic equipped with named individuals and concrete datatypes which has ...
