Integrating Ontologies and Thesauri to BuildRDF

چکیده
In this paper we present a new approach for building RDF schemas by integrating existing ontologies and structured vocabularies (thesauri). We will present a simple mechanism based on the speciication of inclusion relationships between thesaurus terms and ontology concepts and show how these relationships can be exploited to create application-speciic RDF schemas incorporating the structural views of ontologies and deep classiication schemes provided by thesauri.

متن کاملTowards more challenging problems for ontology matching tools
We motivate the need for challenging problems in the evaluation of ontology matching tools. To address this need, we propose mapping sets between well-known biomedical ontologies that are based on the UMLS Metathesaurus. These mappings could be used as a basis for a new track in future OAEI campaigns. 1 Motivation and Background The 2011 OAEI campaign consists of six different tracks. The so-ca...
متن کاملFrom thesauri to Ontologies: A short case study in the food safety area in how ontologies are more powerful than thesauri From thesauri to RDFS to OWL
This short case study will show on the basis of a simple example taken from the Food Safety area, how ontologies differ from thesauri. The example will start with showing an extract from the AGROVOC thesaurus and exploring the information that can be extracted from here. We will then develop this example further in order to show growing functionality and expressive power first in RDFS and final...
متن کاملTowards the Reuse of Standardized Thesauri Into Ontologies
One of the main holdbacks towards a wide use of ontologies is the high building cost. In order to reduce this effort, reuse of existing Knowledge Organization Systems (KOSs), and in particular thesauri, is a valuable and much cheaper alternative to build ontologies from scratch. In the literature tools to support such reuse and conversion of thesauri as well as re-engineering patterns already e...
متن کاملThesaurus mapping: a challenge for ontology alignment?
Thesauri are hierarchical knowledge organization systems commonly used in libraries to categorize and index publications. While sometimes referred to as so-called lightweight ontologies [4], they actually fundamentally differ from ontologies in several aspects. Nevertheless, as thesauri are actively used, constantly maintained and improved, they offer an interesting background knowledge for sem...
