Learning Highly Structured Semantic Repositories from Relational Databases:

چکیده
Relational databases are valuable sources for ontology learning. Methods and tools have been proposed to generate ontologies from such structured input. However, a major persisting limitation is the derivation of ontologies with flat structure that simply mirror the schema of the source databases. In this paper, we show how the RDBToOnto tool can be used to derive accurate ontologies by taking advantage of both the database schema and the data, and more specifically through identification of taxonomies hidden in the data. This extensible tool supports an iterative approach that allows progressive refinement of the learning process through user-defined constraints.

Recently, there has been an exponential growth in the amount of digital data stored in repositories. Therefore, the efficient and effective retrieval of information from them has become a key issue. Organizations use traditional architectures and methodologies based on classical relational databases, but these approaches do not consider the semantics of the data or they perform complex ETL proc...

Integration of h.eterogen.eous information resources h,as been. one of the most im,portant issues in recent advanced application environments. In addition to conventional databases, structured documents have been recogn.ized as important information resources recently.

متن کاملOWLRel: Learning Rich Ontologies from Relational Databases
Mapping between ontologies and relational databases is a necessity in realising the Semantic Web vision. Most of the work concerning this topic has either (1) extracted OWL schemas using a limited range of OWL modelling constructs from relational schemas, or (2) extracted relational schemas from OWL schemas, that represent the OWL schemas as much as possible. By contrast, we propose a general f...
متن کاملManaging Open Educational Resources
In the last few years, the international work on Massive Open On-line Courses (MOOCS) underlined new needs for open educational resources (OER) management within the context of the Web of Data. First, within MOOCs, all (or at least most) resources must be open and available on the Web through URIs, including the MOOCs themselves. Second the evolution of research and practice in the field of OER...
متن کاملNATIVE XML DATABASES vs. RELATIONAL DATABASES IN DEALING WITH XML DOCUMENTS
When dealing with data-centric XML documents, it is possible to convert XML documents into a relational database, which can then be queried using SQL. Such relational databases are called XML-enabled databases. On the other hand, the best choice for storing, updating and retrieving document-centric XML documents is usually a native XML database (NXD). NXDs store XML documents as logical units, ...
