Guiding Reification in OWL through Aggregation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We put forward a methodological approach aimed at guiding ontology modellers in choosing which relations to reify. Our proposal is based on the notion of aggregation as used in conceptual modelling approaches for representing situations that, normally, would require nonbinary relations or complex integrity constraints. The feedback received from using the method in a real-word situation is that if offers a more controlled use of reification and a closer fit between the resulting ontology and the application domain as perceived by an expert.

Guiding the Representation of n-ary Relations in Ontologies through Aggregation, Generalization and Participation
We put forward a methodological approach aimed at guiding ontologists in choosing which relations to reify. Our proposal is based on the notions of aggregation, generalization and participation as used in conceptual modelling approaches for database design in order to represent situations that, normally, would require non-binary relations or complex integrity constraints. In order to justify ou...

متن کاملArguments in OWL: A Progress Report
In previous work, we presented an RDFS ontology, based on the Argument Interchange Format (AIF), for describing arguments and argument schemes. We also implemented a pilot Web-based system, called ArgDF, for authoring and querying argument structures represented in RDF. In this paper, we discuss some of the limitations of our earlier reification of the AIF. We then present a new ontology which ...
متن کاملDRS: A Set of Conventions for Representing Logical Languages in RDF
RDF, and notations based on it such as OWL, are not very good at representing arbitrary propositions, which are necessary for many applications, including the representation of processes and plans. There are various official (“OWL rules”) and semiofficial (“RuleML”) efforts to solve this problem. DRS is similar in spirit to the OWL Rules system, but different in detail. (For further remarks, se...
متن کاملQualitative Spatial Reasoning in RCC8 with OWL and SWRL
The Region Connection Calculus (RCC), and particularly its RCC8 subset, have been extensively studied and used for qualitative spatial reasoning. Some sets of computational operations have also been defined for topological relations, as the CM8 set, that allows to compute the RCC8 relationships on raster images. In this paper, we propose a reified representation of the RCC8 spatial relationship...
