Translation of Ontology Retrieval Problem into Relational Queries

چکیده
Ontology as a knowledge base can provide different reasoning tasks, e.g. to check consistency of the ontology or to check whether a resource is instance of a concept or not. In this paper we want to focus on retrieval problem. There already exist systems resolving this problem, but they are not effective within large datasets. Our idea is to transform ontology into a relational database. We present particular algorithms of this transformation both on the scheme level and SQL level with special handling of functional roles and definitions. This enables to query such database by usual tools of SQL, i.e. to solve the retrieval problem.

The retrieval problem is one of the main reasoning problems for ontology based systems. The retrieval problem for concept C consists in finding all individuals a which satisfy C(a). We present ontology transformation which can help to improve evaluating queries over (sublanguage of) OWL ontologies. Our solution is based on translating retrieval concepts into relational algebra expressions and c...
متن کاملOntology-driven relational query formulation using the semantic and assertional capabilities of OWL-DL
This work investigates the extent to which domain knowledge, expressed in a domain ontology, can assist end-users in formulating relational queries that can be executed over a complex relational database. In this regard, an ontology-driven query formulation architectural framework has been devised, namely OntoQF, that implements a two-phased approach the pre-processing and translation phases. I...

Passenger information aims at improving the user-friendliness of public transport systems while influencing passenger route choices to satisfy transit user’s travel requirements. The integration of transit information from multiple agencies is a major challenge in implementation of multi-modal passenger information systems. The problem of information sharing is further compounded by the multi-l...
متن کاملTop-k retrieval for ontology mediated access to relational databases
We address the problem of evaluating ranked top-k queries in the context of ontology mediated access over relational databases. An ontology layer is used to define the relevant abstract concepts and relations of the application domain, while facts with associated score are stored into a relational database. Queries are conjunctive queries with ranking aggregates and scoring functions. The resul...

The chapter is a succinct summary on the problem of evaluating ranked top-k queries in the context of ontology-based access over relational databases. An ontology layer is used to define the relevant abstract concepts and relations of the application domain, while facts with associated score are stored into a relational database. Queries are conjunctive queries with ranking aggregates and scori...
