Compatibility Formalization Between PR-OWL and OWL
نویسندگان
چکیده
As stated in [5], a major design goal for PR-OWL was to attain compatibility with OWL. However, this goal has been only partially achieved as yet, primarily due to several key issues not fully addressed in the original work. This paper describes several important issues of compatibility between PR-OWL and OWL, and suggests approaches to deal with them. To illustrate the issues and how they can be addressed, we use procurement fraud as an example application domain [2]. First, we describe the lack of mapping between PR-OWL random variables (RVs) and the concepts defined in OWL, and then show how this mapping can be done. Second, we describe PR-OWL’s lack of compatibility with existing types already present in OWL, and then show how every type defined in PR-OWL can be directly mapped to concepts already present in OWL.

PR-OWL Decision: Toward Reusable Ontology Language for Decision Making under Uncertainty
Decision making is a big topic in Intelligence, Defense, and Security fields. However, very little work can be found in the literature about ontology languages that simultaneously support decision making under uncertainty, abstractions/generalizations with first-order expressiveness, and forward/backward compatibility with OWL—a standard language for ontologies. This work proposes PR-OWL Decisi...

Probabilistic ontologies incorporate uncertain and incomplete information into domain ontologies, allowing uncertainty in attributes of and relationships among domain entities to be represented in a consistent and coherent manner. The probabilistic ontology language PR-OWL provides OWL constructs for representing multi-entity Bayesian network (MEBN) theories. Although compatibility with OWL was...

Probabilistic OWL (PR-OWL) improves the Web Ontology Language (OWL) with the ability to treat uncertainty using Multi-Entity Bayesian Networks (MEBN). PR-OWL 2 presents a better integration with OWL and its underlying logic, allowing the creation of ontologies with probabilistic and deterministic parts. However, there are scalability problems since PR-OWL 2 is built upon OWL 2 DL which is a ver...
متن کاملProbabilistic Ontologies for Multi-INT Fusion
Systems are increasingly required to fuse data from geographically dispersed, heterogeneous information sources to produce up-to-date, mission-relevant results. These products focus not only on traditional military forces and systems, but to an increasing degree also on non-traditional combatants and their social networks. Successful multi-INT fusion requires that the constituent systems intero...

The W3C Web Ontology Language (OWL) provides the needed expressiveness formulation of complex concepts. However, the codification of an ontology is a thought formalization process that sometimes requires extensive knowledge and is often inaccessible laypersons. The G-OWL (for Graphical OWL) syntax has been designed to make easier the knowledge expression (compliant to OWL) in a graphical way. T...
