ODEVAL: A Tool for Evaluating RDF(S), DAML+OIL and OWL Concept Taxonomies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ontologies implemented in RDF(S), DAML+OIL, and OWL should be evaluated from the point of view of knowledge representation before using them in Semantic Web applications. Several language-dependent ontology validation tools and ontology platforms, such as OilEd with FaCT, can be used in order to evaluate RDF(S), DAML+OIL and OWL ontologies. This paper offers two main contributions. The first of these exams whether previous ontology tools detect knowledge representation problems in RDF(S), DAML+OIL, and OWL concept taxonomies. Indeed, such tools do not focus on detecting inconsistencies and redundancies in concept taxonomies. The second contribution is ODEval, a language-dependent tool for evaluating, from the point of view of knowledge representation, concept taxonomies in ontologies implemented in such languages. ODEval complements previous ontology tools when we want to evaluate RDF(S), DAML+OIL, and OWL concept taxonomies.

Ontology Evaluation Functionalities of RDF(S), DAML+OIL, and OWL Parsers and Ontology Platforms
Before using ontologies in Semantic Web applications, ontology content and ontology tools (parsers, platforms, etc.) should be evaluated. In this paper we evaluate ontology evaluation functionalities of RDF(S), DAML+OIL, and OWL parsers and import services for such languages within ontology platforms. In recent years, some RDF(S), DAML+OIL, and OWL parsers have been created and several ontology...
متن کاملEvaluation of RDF(S) and DAML+OIL Import/Export Services within Ontology Platforms
Both ontology content and ontology building tools evaluations play an important role before using ontologies in Semantic Web applications. In this paper we try to assess ontology evaluation functionalities of the following ontology platforms: OilEd, OntoEdit, Protégé-2000, and WebODE. The goal of this paper is to analyze whether such ontology platforms prevent the ontologist from making knowled...
متن کاملResults of Taxonomic Evaluation of RDF(S) and DAML+OIL ontologies using RDF(S) and DAML+OIL Validation Tools and Ontology Platforms import services
Before using RDF(S) and DAML+OIL ontologies in Semantic Web applications, its content should be evaluated from a knowledge representation point of view. In recent years, some RDF(S) and DAML+OIL ‘checkers’, ‘validators’, and ‘parsers’ have been created and several ontology platforms are able to import RDF(S) and DAML+OIL ontologies. Two are the experiments presented in this paper. The first one...
متن کاملWeb Ontology Language: OWL
The expressivity of RDF and RDF Schema that was described in [12] is deliberately very limited: RDF is (roughly) limited to binary ground predicates, and RDF Schema is (again roughly) limited to a subclass hierarchy and a property hierarchy, with domain and range definitions of these properties. However, the Web Ontology Working Group of W3C identified a number of characteristic use-cases for O...
متن کاملRDFS(FA): A DL-ised Sub-language of RDFS
Description Logics (DLs), as a field of research, form a formal foundation of first-order semantic Web ontology languages, such as DAML+OIL and OWL. The Semantic Web will build on XML’s ability to define customized tagging schemes and RDF(S)’s flexible approach to representing data. RDF Schema (RDFS), however, has a non-standard metamodeling architecture, which makes some elements in the model ...
