Ontology Learning for the Semantic Web

by Er Maedche, Steffen Staab - IEEE Intelligent Systems , 2001
"... The Semantic Web relies heavily on the formal ontologies that structure underlying data for the purpose of comprehensive and transportable machine understanding. Therefore, the success of the Semantic Web depends strongly on the proliferation of ontologies, which requires fast and easy engineering o ..."

-structured and fully structured data in order to support a semi-automatic, cooperative ontology engineering process. Our ontology learning framework proceeds through ontology import, extraction, pruning, refinement, and evaluation giving the ontology engineer a wealth of coordinated tools for ontology modeling

The ABC Ontology and Model

by Carl Lagoze, Jane Hunter - Journal of Digital Information , 2001
"... This paper describes the latest version of the ABC metadata model. This model has been developed within the Harmony international digital library project to provide a common conceptual model to facilitate interoperability between metadata vocabularies from different domains. This updated ABC model i ..."

Ontologies are us: A unified model of social networks and semantics

by Peter Mika - In International Semantic Web Conference , 2005
"... Abstract. On the Semantic Web ontologies are most commonly treated as artifacts created by knowledge engineers for a particular community. The task of the engineers is to forge a common understanding within the community and to formalize the agreements, prerequisites of reusing domain knowledge in i ..."

On the Relationship of Ontologies and Models

by Colin Atkinson, Matthias Gutheil, Kilian Kiko
"... Abstract: As models and ontologies assume an increasingly central role in enterprise systems engineering the question of how they compare and can be used together assumes growing importance. On the one hand, the semantic web community is starting to propose a central role for “ontologies ” in softwa ..."

On Ontology, ontologies, Conceptualizations, Modeling Languages

by Giancarlo Guizzardi - and (Meta)Models, Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications, Databases and Information Systems IV, IOS , 2007
"... Abstract. In philosophy, the term ontology has been used since the 17 th century to refer both to a philosophical discipline (Ontology with a capital “O”), and as a domain-independent system of categories that can be used in the conceptualization of domain-specific scientific theories. In the past d ..."

decades there has been a growing interest in the subject of ontology in computer and information sciences. In the last few years, this interest has expanded considerably in the context of the Semantic Web and MDA (Model-Driven Architecture) research efforts, and due to the role ontologies are perceived

Yago: A Core of Semantic Knowledge

by Fabian M. Suchanek, Gjergji Kasneci, Gerhard Weikum - IN PROC. OF WWW ’07 , 2007
"... We present YAGO, a light-weight and extensible ontology with high coverage and quality. YAGO builds on entities and relations and currently contains roughly 900,000 entities and 5,000,000 facts. This includes the Is-A hierarchy as well as non-taxonomic relations between entities (such as hasWonPrize ..."

Imagenet: A large-scale hierarchical image database

by Jia Deng, Wei Dong, Richard Socher, Li-jia Li, Kai Li, Li Fei-fei - In CVPR , 2009
"... The explosion of image data on the Internet has the potential to foster more sophisticated and robust models and algorithms to index, retrieve, organize and interact with images and multimedia data. But exactly how such data can be harnessed and organized remains a critical problem. We introduce her ..."

An e-Business Model Ontology for Modeling e-Business

by Alexander Osterwalder, Yves Pigneur , 2002
"... After explaining why business executives and academics should consider thinking about a rigorous approach to e-business models, we introduce a new e-Business Model Ontology. Using the concept of business models can help companies understand, communicate and share, change, measure, simulate and le ..."

A.: Ontology for Modeling and Simulation

by Charles Turnitsa, Jose J. Padilla, Andreas Tolk - In: Winter Simulation Conference , 2010
"... This paper establishes what makes an ontology different in Modeling and Simulation (M&S) from other disciplines, vis-a-vis, the necessity to capture a conceptual model of a system in an explicit, unambiguous, and machine readable form. Unlike other disciplines where ontologies are used, such as ..."

MECUREO Ontology and Modelling Tools

by Trent Apted, Judy Kay - WBES of the International Journal of Continuing Engineering Education and Lifelong Learning , 2004
"... This paper describes MECUREO, a system that automatically constructs an ontology from a dictionary. We describe its use in the context of a dictionary of computer science. MECUREO parses this to construct a graph representing a lightweight ontology of computer science. This paper describes MECUREO’s ..."
