Managing Ontology Evolution Via Relational Constraints

چکیده
Ontology-based modelling is becoming increasingly important in the design of complex knowledge management applications. However, many problems related to large-scale ontology development, deployment and collaborative maintenance of related metadata still remain to be solved. Making online modifications to an ontology whose concepts are simultaneously being used for metadata generation may potentially disrupt metadata semantics and even introduce inconsistencies. In this paper we analyzed and classified operations on ontology according to their impact on metadata. The approach is aimed at environments (like our own Knowledge Hub) relying on a relational database for storing ontologies and metadata assertions and it is based on the use of database triggers for automating metadata maintenance.

Knowledge-data integration for temporal reasoning in a clinical trial system
Managing time-stamped data is essential to clinical research activities and often requires the use of considerable domain knowledge. Adequately representing and integrating temporal data and domain knowledge is difficult with the database technologies used in most clinical research systems. There is often a disconnect between the database representation of research data and corresponding domain...
متن کاملReGraph: Bridging Relational and Graph Databases
In this paper, we present ReGraph, a framework to map data from a relational to a graph database, managing a dynamic coexistence and evolution of both, not supported by related work. ReGraph has minimal impact in the existing infrastructure, providing a flexible and tailored graph model for each relational schema. It uses an initial ETL (Extract, Transform and Load) process to replicate the exi...
متن کاملManaging Ontology Change and Evolution via a Hybrid Matching Algorithm
In this paper, we present the problem of ontology evolution and change management. We provide a systematic approach to solve the problem by adopting a multi-agent system (MAS). The core of our solution is the Semantic Relatedness Score (SRS) which is an aggregate score of five well-tested semantic as well as syntactic algorithms. The focus of this paper is to resolve current problems related to...
متن کاملLatent-Class Statistical Relational Learning from Formal Knowledge
We propose a learning approach for integrating formal knowledge into statistical inference by exploiting ontologies as a semantically rich and fully formal representation of prior knowledge. The logical constraints deduced from ontologies can be utilized to enhance and control the learning task by enforcing description logic satisfiability in a latent multi-relational graphical model. To demons...
متن کاملManaging an Evolving Shared Knowledge Repository: The Upgrade Process via Semantic Mediation
This research focuses on the problem of ontology change management in the context of evolving shared hierarchical knowledge repositories. We propose a framework for dealing with ontology evolution via semantic mediation. In particular we present a MultiAgent System (MAS) architecture that would be deployed to manage changes in shared ontologies such as update, deletion and renaming of classes i...
