Ontological Queries Supporting Decision Process in KaSeA System

چکیده
With development of knowledge bases (KB) there appeared expert systems that use KBs to support them in decision making process. Decision Support Systems, that are the subject of the paper, communicate with knowledge bases by populating them with known facts and receiving newly inferred knowledge. However there exist situations when a DSS receives ambiguous response from knowledge base and needs to know what additional information is missing and is required to give a precise response. The paper focuses on a communication between a DSS and a knowledge base especially in the scope of getting the missing information. The special type of inference performed over a Description Logics ontology to solve the problem, the corresponding query and implementation issues are described.

متن کاملThe Knowledge Cartography - A New Approach to Reasoning over Description Logics Ontologies
The paper presents a new method for representation and processing ontological knowledge – Knowledge Cartography. This method allows for inferring implicit knowledge from both: terminological part (TBox) and assertional part (ABox) of a Description Logic ontology. The paper describes basics of the method and gives some theoretical background of the method. Knowledge Cartography stores and proces...
متن کاملTowards Supporting Exploratory Search over the Arabic Web Content: The Case of ArabXplore
Due to the huge amount of data published on the Web, the Web search process has become more difficult, and it is sometimes hard to get the expected results, especially when the users are less certain about their information needs. Several efforts have been proposed to support exploratory search on the web by using query expansion, faceted search, or supplementary information extracted from exte...
متن کاملA Comparative Evaluation of an Ontological Medical Decision Support System (OMeD) for Critical Environments This research was funded in part by the National Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC)
Modern medical decision making systems require users to manually collect and process information from distributed and heterogeneous repositories to facilitate the decision making process. There are many factors (such as time, volume of information and technical ability) that can potentially compromise the quality of decisions made for patients. In this work we demonstrate and evaluate a new med...
