Ontology Design and Reuse with Conceptual Roles

by Jakob Henriksson, Michael Pradel, Steffen Zschaler, Jeff Z. Pan
"... Abstract. Ontologies are already used in the life sciences and the Semantic Web, but are expected to be deployed in many other areas in the near future—for example, in software development. As the use of ontologies becomes commonplace, they will be constructed more frequently and also become more co ..."

complex. To cope with this issue, modularization paradigms and reuse techniques must be defined for ontologies and supported by ontology languages. In this paper, we propose the use of roles from conceptual modeling for this purpose, and show how they can be used to define ontological reuse units

Semantic Modeling of Management Information: Enabling Automatic Reasoning on

by O Alonso, Rafael Fernández, Sonia Frutos, Javier Soriano - DMTF-CIM. Transactions on Engineering, Computing and Technology , 2006
"... Abstract — CIM is the standard formalism for modeling management information developed by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) in the context of its WBEM proposal, designed to provide a conceptual view of the managed environment. In this paper, we propose the inclusion of formal knowledge re ..."

Knowledge Acquisition using Documents, Conceptual Graphs and a Semantically Structured Dictionary

by unknown authors
"... In this paper, we first show how in CGKAT, our knowledge acquisition tool, any document element and its semantics may be represented using the Conceptual Graphs formalism (Sowa, 1984) and a structured document editor. Then, we study the kinds of hypertext links that may be set between documents elem ..."

In a second part, we detail the top-level ontologies (for concepts and relations) proposed by CGKAT and its exploitation of a semantically

Semantic Modeling and Knowledge Representation in Multimedia Databases

by Wasfi Al-khatib, Ieee Computer Society, Y. Francis Day, Arif Ghafoor, P. Bruce Berra - IEEE Trans. Knowledge and Data Eng , 1999
"... Abstract—In this paper, we present the current state of the art in semantic data modeling of multimedia data. Semantic conceptualization can be performed at several levels of information granularity, leading to multilevel indexing and searching mechanisms. Various models at different levels of granu ..."

Index Terms—Multimedia data modeling, multimedia document modeling, semantic modeling, knowledge representation, content-based retrieval, image databases, video databases, video indexing, query formulation, query processing

Church: A language for generative models

by Noah D. Goodman, Vikash K. Mansinghka, Daniel M. Roy, Keith Bonawitz, Joshua B. Tenenbaum - In UAI , 2008
"... Formal languages for probabilistic modeling enable re-use, modularity, and descriptive clarity, and can foster generic inference techniques. We introduce Church, a universal language for describing stochastic generative processes. Church is based on the Lisp model of lambda calculus, containing a pu ..."

Application of Ontology-Based Knowledge Representation to Design Reuse

by Elisa Finnie, Eric Lai, Robert Engelmore, Adam Farquhar, Richard Fikes
"... Ontolingua, a language for ontology-based knowledge representation, provides the capability to construct comprehensive characterizations of knowledge bases. While the ability to characterize the content of a knowledge base is not new, Ontolingua includes a number of features that greatly enhance con ..."

conventional data representation and modeling technologies through the incorporation of semantic context. In addition to supporting object-oriented modeling techniques, Ontolingua enables representation of constraints, definitions, and relationships among terms within ontologies. This facility provides a

Effective Enabling of Sharing and Reuse of Knowledge On Semantic Web by Ontology in Date Fruit Model.

by Sherimon P. C, Reshmy Krishnan, Vinu. P. V
"... Since Organizations have recognized that knowledge constitutes a valuable intangible asset for creating and sustaining competitive advantages, knowledge sharing has a vital role in present society. It is an activity through which information is exchanged among people through different media. Many pr ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
problems face the area of knowledge sharing and knowledge reuse. Currently, knowledge sharing between entities is achieved in a very ad-hoc fashion, lacking proper understanding of the meaning of the data. Ontologies can potentially solve these problems by facilitating knowledge sharing and reuse through

Reusing Domain Knowledge in Requirement Analysis

by Christian Kop, Heinrich C. Mayr

In this context, compared to the usual approaches that concentrate on reusing software (documents) on the mor ..."

It comes with a glossary model, the vocabulary of which demands less abstraction abilities than semantic models as they are known from methods for conceptual design, resp. object-oriented analysis. It will be shown, how information reuse might be done and supported within
