Professor Werner Kuhn Professor Emerita Helen Couclelis Professor Krzysztof Janowicz, Committee Chair May 2016 A Data-Driven Framework for Assisting Geo-Ontology Engineering Using a Discrepancy Index Copyright c 2016 by Bo Yan iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank the members of my committee for their guidance and patience in the face of obstacles over the course of my research. I would like to thank my advisor, Krzysztof Janowicz, for his invaluable input on my work. Without his help and encour- agement, I would not have been able to find the light at the end of the tunnel during the last stage of the work. Because he provided insight that helped me think out of the box. There is no better advisor.

Introduction In the era of WWW, people need to search and get information fast online or offline which make people rely on Question Answering System (QAS). One of the common and traditionally use QAS is Frequently Ask Question site which contains common and straight forward answer. Currently, QAS have emerge as powerful platform using various techniques such as information retrieval, Knowledge Base, Natural Language Processing and Hybrid Based which enable user to retrieve exact answer for questions posed in natural language using either pre-structured database or a collection of natural language documents [1,4]. The demand of QAS increases day by day since it delivers short, precise and question-specific answer [10]. QAS with using knowledge base paradigm are better in Restricted- domain QA system since it ability to focus [12]. -

Description Logics
Description Logics Franz Baader1, Ian Horrocks2, and Ulrike Sattler2 1 Institut f¨urTheoretische Informatik, TU Dresden, Germany [email protected] 2 Department of Computer Science, University of Manchester, UK {horrocks,sattler}@cs.man.ac.uk Summary. In this chapter, we explain what description logics are and why they make good ontology languages. In particular, we introduce the description logic SHIQ, which has formed the basis of several well-known ontology languages, in- cluding OWL. We argue that, without the last decade of basic research in description logics, this family of knowledge representation languages could not have played such an important rˆolein this context. Description logic reasoning can be used both during the design phase, in order to improve the quality of ontologies, and in the deployment phase, in order to exploit the rich structure of ontologies and ontology based information. We discuss the extensions to SHIQ that are required for languages such as OWL and, finally, we sketch how novel reasoning services can support building DL knowledge bases. 1 Introduction The aim of this section is to give a brief introduction to description logics, and to argue why they are well-suited as ontology languages. In the remainder of the chapter we will put some flesh on this skeleton by providing more technical details with respect to the theory of description logics, and their relationship to state of the art ontology languages. More detail on these and other matters related to description logics can be found in [6]. Ontologies There have been many attempts to define what constitutes an ontology, per- haps the best known (at least amongst computer scientists) being due to Gruber: “an ontology is an explicit specification of a conceptualisation” [47].3 In this context, a conceptualisation means an abstract model of some aspect of the world, taking the form of a definition of the properties of important 3 This was later elaborated to “a formal specification of a shared conceptualisation” [21]. -

Ontology Matching OM-2016 Proceedings of the ISWC Workshop Introduction Ontology matching1 is a key interoperability enabler for the semantic web, as well as a useful tactic in some classical data integration tasks dealing with the semantic hetero- geneity problem. It takes ontologies as input and determines as output an alignment, that is, a set of correspondences between the semantically related entities of those on- tologies. These correspondences can be used for various tasks, such as ontology merg- ing, data translation, query answering or navigation on the web of data. Thus, matching ontologies enables the knowledge and data expressed in the matched ontologies to in- teroperate. -

Justification Oriented Proofs In
Justification Oriented Proofs in OWL Matthew Horridge, Bijan Parsia, and Ulrike Sattler School of Computer Science, The University of Manchester Abstract. Justifications — that is, minimal entailing subsets of an on- tology — are currently the dominant form of explanation provided by ontology engineering environments, especially those focused on the Web Ontology Language (OWL). Despite this, there are naturally occurring justifications that can be very difficult to understand. In essence, justifi- cations are merely the premises of a proof and, as such, do not articulate the (often non-obvious) reasoning which connect those premises with the conclusion. This paper presents justification oriented proofs as a poten- tial solution to this problem. 1 Introduction and Motivation Modern ontology development environments such as Prot´eg´e-4, the NeOn Toolkit, Swoop, and Top Braid Composer, allow users to request explanations for entail- ments (inferences) that they encounter when editing or browsing ontologies. In- deed, the provision of explanation generating functionality is generally seen as being a vital component in such tools. Over the last few years, justifications have become the dominant form of explanation in these tools. This paper examines justifications as a kind of explanation and highlights some problems with them. It then presents justification lemmatisation as a non-standard reasoning service, which can be used to augment a justification with intermediate inference steps, and gives rise to a structure known as a justification oriented proof. Ultimately, a justification oriented proof could be used as an input into some presentation de- vice to help a person step though a justification that is otherwise too difficult for them to understand. -

Vyas Department of Information Technology, Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad, India [email protected] Abstract- Ontologies provide features like a common vocabulary, reusability, machine-readable content, and also allows for semantic search, facilitate agent interaction and ordering & structuring of knowledge for the Semantic Web (Web 3.0) application. However, the challenge in ontology engineering is automatic learning, i.e., the there is still a lack of fully automatic approach from a text corpus or dataset of various topics to form ontology using machine learning techniques. In this paper, two topic modeling algorithms are explored, namely LSI & SVD and Mr.LDA for learning topic ontology. The objective is to determine the statistical relationship between document and terms to build a topic ontology and ontology graph with minimum human intervention. Experimental analysis on building a topic ontology and semantic retrieving corresponding topic ontology for the user‟s query demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
