چکیده

Covering is a well known relationship in semantic and object oriented data models Covering holds when a class is the union of a collection of subclasses However covering has been studied only for entity classes In this paper we investigate covering for properties as well We introduce a new relationship among properties called property covering Property covering holds when a property restricted to a given class is the union of a collection of sub properties Property covering allows us to i partition a property into sub properties ii express property value re nement and iii express a particular form of negative information We demonstrate that property covering together with inheritance disjointness and participation constraints constitutes a useful conceptual model ing mechanism In particular we provide a set of inference rules that lead to schema derivations based on property covering specialization and disjointness relations

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...

Deriving and Retrieving Contextual Categorical Information through Instance Inheritance

In semantic and object oriented data models each class has one or more typing properties that associate it to other classes and carry type information about all instances of the class We introduce a new kind of property that we call instance typing property An instance typing property associates an instance of a class to another class and carries type information about that particular instance ...

An Executive Approach Based On the Production of Fuzzy Ontology Using the Semantic Web Rule Language Method (SWRL)

Today, the need to deal with ambiguous information in semantic web languages is increasing. Ontology is an important part of the W3C standards for the semantic web, used to define a conceptual standard vocabulary for the exchange of data between systems, the provision of reusable databases, and the facilitation of collaboration across multiple systems. However, classical ontology is not enough ...

Research on Information Retrieval Based on Semantic Similarity Related Technology

In this paper, an information retrieval method based on knowledge reasoning that tightly integrates description logic reasoning and traditional information retrieval technique is proposed. The method expresses the user's search intention by description logic to infer the user's search object. Further, fuzzy describing logic is introduced to confirm the relations between Web pages and user's sea...
