Ontological Modeling: Part 1
نویسنده
چکیده
This is the first in a series of articles on ontology-based approaches to modeling. The main focus is on popular ontology languages proposed for the Semantic Web, such as the Resource Description Framework (RDF), RDF Schema (RDFS), and the Web Ontology Language (OWL). OWL is based on description logic. A later series of articles will explore other logic-based languages such as Datalog. This first article provides a brief introduction to ontologies, the Semantic Web, and RDF.

Knowledge bases, data bases and object-oriented systems (referred to in the paper as Object-Centered systems) all rely on attributes as the main construct used to associate properties to objects; among these, a fundamental role is played by the so-called part-whole relation. The representation of such a structural information usually requires a particular semantics together with specialized inf...
متن کاملAn Ontological Engineering Methodology for Part-Whole Reasoning in Medicine
Part-whole relationships are fundamental ontological categories for medical reasoning. Part-whole modeling, however, still provides no conclusive methodology for adequate representations. We propose a new representation construct for part-whole reasoning based on the formal framework of description logics, thereby overcoming problems that arise in the context of previous formal approaches to pa...
متن کاملRepresenting Collectives and Their Members in UML Conceptual Models: An Ontological Analysis
In a series of publications, we have employed ontological theories and principles to evaluate and improve the quality of conceptual modeling grammars and models. In this article, we continue this work by conducting an ontological analysis to investigate the proper representation of types whose instances are collectives, as well as the representation of a specific part-whole relation involving t...
متن کامل"Is It a Fleet or a Collection of Ships?": Ontological Anti-patterns in the Modeling of Part-Whole Relations
Over the years, there is a growing interest in employing theories from philosophical ontology, cognitive science and linguistics to devise theoretical, methodological and computational tools for information systems engineering, in general, and for conceptual modeling, in particular. In this paper, we discuss one particular kind of such tools, namely, ontological anti-patterns. Ontological anti-...

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the application of Foundational Ontologies, i.e., formal ontological theories in the philosophical sense, for providing real-world semantics for conceptual modeling languages, and theoretically sound foundations and methodological guidelines for evaluating and improving the individual models produced using these languages. The lack of proper...

Recommender Systems ( ) are expected to suggest the accurate goods to the consumers. Cold start is the most important challenge for RSs. Recent hybrid s combine and . We introduce an ontological hybrid RS where the ontology has been employed in its part while improving the ontology structure by its part. In this paper, a new hybrid approach is proposed based on the combination of demog...
