Design an OWL Ontology Project

Sat, 21 Jan 2017 06:46:40 +0000

This document outlines a project originally from the course "Semantic Web Topics" at LeHigh University. Students are asked to work in teams to design an OWL 2 DL ontology (or set of ontologies) for an application domain of their choice – ideally, this domain should be one they know about. Since students are also expected to create a set of instances that demonstrate the use of the ontology, they should also choose a domain that has data they can access. Ontologies must be valid OWL or OWL 2 DL ontologies and should use the rich modeling constructs of OWL as much as possible. A DL reasoner should be used to ensure that classes are satisfiable and that the ontology does not lead to unintended inferences.

The Nuts and Bolts of Thesaurus Development and Maintenance

Wed, 21 Dec 2016 06:43:13 +0000

In this video, the narrator explains how to develop a taxonomy from scratch and how to modify an existing vocabulary. He demonstrates how to structure a controlled vocabulary based on a hierarchical sorting of terms while detailing the differences between each taxonomic classification. The talk covers both top-down and bottom-up approaches to thesaurus construction. Best practices in thesaurus management are discussed in order to ensure fully functional and descriptive vocabularies.

Combining RDF and XML Schemas to Enhance Interoperability Between Metadata Application Profiles

Abi Evans — Sun, 04 Oct 2015 05:32:27 +0000

The term Application Profile (AP) has recently become highly topical, with initiatives demanding APs which combine elements from a number of different existing standardized metadata schemas whilst maintaining interoperability and satisfying their own specific requirements through refinements, extensions and additions. This paper describes a hybrid collaborative approach which combines the semantic knowledge of RDF Schemas with the explicit structural, cardinality and data-typing constraints provided by XML Schemas in a complementary manner.

Tutorial on Ontology Management

Abi Evans — Thu, 13 Aug 2015 03:26:18 +0000

This PowerPoint presentation uses the famous Wine Ontology example to cover ontology development basics. It answers the question, "What is an ontology and why do we need one?" It includes a step-by-step guide to ontology development and covers advanced issues in knowledge modeling. Uses the open-source tool Protege, with several plugins and applications.

Ontology Development 101: A Guide to Creating Your First Ontology

Abi Evans — Thu, 13 Aug 2015 03:26:17 +0000

This guide describes an ontology development methodology, lists possible steps in the process, and addresses the complex issues of defining class hierarchies and properties of classes and instances. Note: The creators of this guide used Protege-2000 as an ontology-developing environment for their examples, as well as the famous Wine Ontology.

Designing and Developing Vocabularies in RDF

Abi Evans — Thu, 13 Aug 2015 03:26:17 +0000

This slide presentation aims to help the user answer the following questions: What are the best practices or creating an RDF vocabulary for modelling data; Where does one find RDF vocabularies for reuse; How can one create an RDF vocabulary; How does one create new classes and properties in RDF; How does one publish an RDF vocabulary? To meet this goal, the process and methodology for developing semantic agreements developed by the ISA Programme of the European Commission is discussed. Prompts for group exercises are included.
