Cheekula, Siva Kumar. M.S. Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Wright State University, 2017. Characterizing Concepts in Taxonomy for Entity Recommendations. Entity recommendation systems are enormously popular on the Web. These systems harness manually crafted taxonomies for improving recommendations. For example, Yahoo created the Open Directory Project for search and recommendati...

The CleanTax framework relates (aligns) taxonomies (inclusion hierarchies) to one another using relations drawn from the RCC-5 algebra. The taxonomies, represented as partial orders with additional constraints, can frequently (but not always) be represented with RCC-5 relations as well. Given two aligned taxonomies, CleanTax can infer new relations (articulations) between their concepts, detect...

This article describes a comprehensive information model for the recording of taxonomic and observation data from literature, field collecting and other sources. The model is based on an approach using hierarchical decomposition of data areas into atomic data elements and abstraction into an entity relationship model. It encompasses taxa of all ranks, nothotaxa and hybrid formulae, unnamed taxa...

Organizing data into category hierarchies (taxonomies) is useful for content discovery, search, exploration and analysis. In industrial settings targeted taxonomies for specific domains are mostly created manually, typically by domain experts, which is time consuming and requires a high level of expertise. This paper presents an algorithm and an implemented interactive system for automatically ...

The main concern of this study was communication strategies (CSs) which are used to compensate for communication breakdown. The goals of this study were to examine whether proficiency level of Iranian students had any relationship with their choice of CSs. This research was descriptive in nature. The participants were 15 pre-intermediate and 14 intermediate EFL learners between 16 to 21years ol...

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...

The construction of taxonomies is considered as the first step for structuring domain knowledge. Many methodologies have been developed in the past for building taxonomies from classical information repositories such as dictionaries, databases or domain text. However, in the last years, scientists have started to consider the Web as valuable repository of knowledge. In this paper we present a n...

Introduction Taxonomies capture knowledge about a particular domain in succinct manner and establish common understanding among peers. Researchers use taxonomies to convey information area or support automation tasks, practitioners them enable communication beyond organizational boundaries. Aims Even though this important role of software engineering, their quality is seldom evaluated. Our aim ...
