Classes versus Individuals: Fundamental Design Issues for Ontologies on the Biomedical Semantic Web
نویسنده
چکیده
Most entities in biological discourse are in fact classes and not singular entities. This complicates the ontological description of biomedical reality in the Web Ontology Language (OWL), which is one of the fundamental standards of the Semantic Web. While the class—like nature of most biological entities seems to necessitate the use of OWL classes to describe biological reality in a consistent manner, this approach is not practically feasible for several reasons. I propose the use of OWL individuals together with special properties (the ‘CASA property pattern’) to overcome these problems.

A procedure for Web Service Selection Using WS-Policy Semantic Matching
In general, Policy-based approaches play an important role in the management of web services, for instance, in the choice of semantic web service and quality of services (QoS) in particular. The present research work illustrates a procedure for the web service selection among functionality similar web services based on WS-Policy semantic matching. In this study, the procedure of WS-Policy publi...

Extracting structured information about entities from web texts is an important task in web mining, natural language processing, and information extraction. Information extraction is useful in many applications including search engines, question-answering systems, recommender systems, machine translation, etc. An information extraction system aims to identify the entities from the text and extr...
متن کاملPublishing OWL Ontologies with Presto
Publishing RDF/OWL ontologies on the Semantic Web typically starts by placing the document in a web accessible location and ends with redirects of ontological components (classes, properties, individuals) to that the document. Unfortunately, this is seldom sufficient for expressive OWL ontologies in which reasoning is essential to determine the full extent of the entity in question. Moreover, t...

Background and Aim: Ontologies facilitate data integration, exchange, searching and querying. Open Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) Foundry is a solution for creating reference ontologies. In this foundry, the design of ontologies is based on established principles which allow for their interactions as a single system. The purpose of this study is to determine the main features of ontologies develop...
متن کاملCentralized Clustering Method To Increase Accuracy In Ontology Matching Systems
Ontology is the main infrastructure of the Semantic Web which provides facilities for integration, searching and sharing of information on the web. Development of ontologies as the basis of semantic web and their heterogeneities have led to the existence of ontology matching. By emerging large-scale ontologies in real domain, the ontology matching systems faced with some problem like memory con...
