On the semantic engineering of scientific hypotheses as linked data
نویسندگان
چکیده
The term ‘hypothesis’ is part of the Linked Science Core Vocabulary (LSC) as one of the core elements for making scientific assets explicit and linked in the web of data. Hypotheses are generally understood as propositions for explaining observed phenomena, but eliciting and linking hypotheses can be a challenge. In this paper, we elaborate on a semantic view on hypotheses and their linkage, by striving for minimal ontological commitments. We address the engineering of hypotheses as linked data, and build upon LSC by extending it in order to accommodate terms necessary in model-based sciences such as Computational Science. Then we instantiate the extended LSC by eliciting and linking hypotheses from a published research in Computational Hemodynamics.

HyQue: evaluating hypotheses using Semantic Web technologies
BACKGROUND Key to the success of e-Science is the ability to computationally evaluate expert-composed hypotheses for validity against experimental data. Researchers face the challenge of collecting, evaluating and integrating large amounts of diverse information to compose and evaluate a hypothesis. Confronted with rapidly accumulating data, researchers currently do not have the software tools ...
متن کاملAn Improved Semantic Schema Matching Approach
Schema matching is a critical step in many applications, such as data warehouse loading, Online Analytical Process (OLAP), Data mining, semantic web [2] and schema integration. This task is defined for finding the semantic correspondences between elements of two schemas. Recently, schema matching has found considerable interest in both research and practice. In this paper, we present a new impr...
متن کاملThe Symbiosis of Human and Semantic Technology Through the Lens of Actor-Network Theory
Background: Semantic technologies (STs) have made machine reasoning possible by providing intelligent data management methods. This capability has created new forms of interaction between humans and STs, which is called "semantic interaction." The increasing spread of this form of interaction in daily life reveals the need to identify the factors affecting it and introduce the requirements of...
متن کاملA Joint Semantic Vector Representation Model for Text Clustering and Classification
Text clustering and classification are two main tasks of text mining. Feature selection plays the key role in the quality of the clustering and classification results. Although word-based features such as term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) vectors have been widely used in different applications, their shortcoming in capturing semantic concepts of text motivated researches to use...
متن کاملDeveloping 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...
