  • Bi-Directional Transformation Between Normalized Systems Elements and Domain Ontologies in OWL
    Bi-directional Transformation between Normalized Systems Elements and Domain Ontologies in OWL Marek Suchanek´ 1 a, Herwig Mannaert2, Peter Uhnak´ 3 b and Robert Pergl1 c 1Faculty of Information Technology, Czech Technical University in Prague, Thakurova´ 9, Prague, Czech Republic 2Normalized Systems Institute, University of Antwerp, Prinsstraat 13, Antwerp, Belgium 3NSX bvba, Wetenschapspark Universiteit Antwerpen, Galileilaan 15, 2845 Niel, Belgium Keywords: Ontology, Normalized Systems, Transformation, Model-driven Development, Ontology Engineering, Software Modelling. Abstract: Knowledge representation in OWL ontologies gained a lot of popularity with the development of Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, Semantic Web, and Linked Open Data. OWL ontologies are very versatile, and there are many tools for analysis, design, documentation, and mapping. They can capture concepts and categories, their properties and relations. Normalized Systems (NS) provide a way of code generation from a model of so-called NS Elements resulting in an information system with proven evolvability. The model used in NS contains domain-specific knowledge that can be represented in an OWL ontology. This work clarifies the potential advantages of having OWL representation of the NS model, discusses the design of a bi-directional transformation between NS models and domain ontologies in OWL, and describes its implementation. It shows how the resulting ontology enables further work on the analytical level and leverages the system design. Moreover, due to the fact that NS metamodel is metacircular, the transformation can generate ontology of NS metamodel itself. It is expected that the results of this work will help with the design of larger real-world applications as well as the metamodel and that the transformation tool will be further extended with additional features which we proposed.

  • A Survey and Classification of Controlled Natural Languages
    A Survey and Classification of Controlled Natural Languages ∗ Tobias Kuhn ETH Zurich and University of Zurich What is here called controlled natural language (CNL) has traditionally been given many different names. Especially during the last four decades, a wide variety of such languages have been designed. They are applied to improve communication among humans, to improve translation, or to provide natural and intuitive representations for formal notations. Despite the apparent differences, it seems sensible to put all these languages under the same umbrella. To bring order to the variety of languages, a general classification scheme is presented here. A comprehensive survey of existing English-based CNLs is given, listing and describing 100 languages from 1930 until today. Classification of these languages reveals that they form a single scattered cloud filling the conceptual space between natural languages such as English on the one end and formal languages such as propositional logic on the other. The goal of this article is to provide a common terminology and a common model for CNL, to contribute to the understanding of their general nature, to provide a starting point for researchers interested in the area, and to help developers to make design decisions. 1. Introduction Controlled, processable, simplified, technical, structured,andbasic are just a few examples of attributes given to constructed languages of the type to be discussed here. We will call them controlled natural languages (CNL) or simply controlled languages.Basic English, Caterpillar Fundamental English, SBVR Structured English, and Attempto Controlled English are some examples; many more will be presented herein. This article investigates the nature of such languages, provides a general classification scheme, and explores existing approaches.

  • Data Models for Home Services
    __________________________________________PROCEEDING OF THE 13TH CONFERENCE OF FRUCT ASSOCIATION Data Models for Home Services Vadym Kramar, Markku Korhonen, Yury Sergeev Oulu University of Applied Sciences, School of Engineering Raahe, Finland {vadym.kramar, markku.korhonen, yury.sergeev}@oamk.fi Abstract An ultimate penetration of communication technologies allowing web access has enriched a conception of smart homes with new paradigms of home services. Modern home services range far beyond such notions as Home Automation or Use of Internet. The services expose their ubiquitous nature by being integrated into smart environments, and provisioned through a variety of end-user devices. Computational intelligence require a use of knowledge technologies, and within a given domain, such requirement as a compliance with modern web architecture is essential. This is where Semantic Web technologies excel. A given work presents an overview of important terms, vocabularies, and data models that may be utilised in data and knowledge engineering with respect to home services. Index Terms: Context, Data engineering, Data models, Knowledge engineering, Semantic Web, Smart homes, Ubiquitous computing. I. INTRODUCTION In recent years, a use of Semantic Web technologies to build a giant information space has shown certain benefits. Rapid development of Web 3.0 and a use of its principle in web applications is the best evidence of such benefits. A traditional database design in still and will be widely used in web applications. One of the most important reason for that is a vast number of databases developed over years and used in a variety of applications varying from simple web services to enterprise portals. In accordance to Forrester Research though a growing number of document, or knowledge bases, such as NoSQL is not a hype anymore [1].

  • Ontology Languages – a Review
    International Journal of Computer Theory and Engineering, Vol.2, No.6, December, 2010 1793-8201 Ontology Languages – A Review V. Maniraj, Dr.R. Sivakumar 1) Logical Languages Abstract—Ontologies have been becoming a hot research • First order predicate logic topic for the application in artificial intelligence, semantic web, Software Engineering, Library Science and information • Rule based logic Architecture. Ontology is a formal representation of set of concepts within a domain and relationships between those • concepts. It is used to reason about the properties of that Description logic domain and may be used to define the domain. An ontology language is a formal language used to encode the ontologies. A 2) Frame based Languages number of research languages have been designed and released • Similar to relational databases during the past few years by the research community. They are both proprietary and standard based. In this paper a study has 3) Graph based Languages been reported on the different features and issues of these • languages. This paper also addresses the challenges for Semantic network research community in the further development of ontology languages. • Analogy with the web is rationale for the semantic web I. INTRODUCTION Ontology engineering (or ontology building) is a subfield II. BACKGROUND of knowledge engineering that studies the methods and CycL1 in computer science and artificial intelligence is an methodologies for building ontologies. It studies the ontology language used by Doug Lenat’s Cye artificial ontology development process, the ontology life cycle, the intelligence project. Ramanathan V. Guna was instrumental methods and methodologies for building ontologies, and the in the design of the language.

  • A Query Facility for Allegro Redacted for Privacy Abstract Approved: Earl F
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Richard Goodemoot for the degree of Master of Science in Computer Science presented on June 11 1986. Title: A Query Facility for Allegro Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: Earl F. Ecklund, Jr. Allegro is a network database management system being developed at Oregon State University. This project adds a user friendly query facility to the system. The user is presented with pictorial display of the network records and a query interface modeled on the QueryByExample system.By request the user may be shown the network sets of the queryschema. When necessary the user may specify query navigationofthe network schema. While implemented and functional, this facility should be considered as a feasibility study for a full query system on a network data base. To provide the desired display this facility is implemented on a system separate from the main Allegro system and uses a communication interface to it. This facility is a Smalitalk implementation.

  • Ontology-Based Design of Space Systems
    Ontology-Based Design of Space Systems Christian Hennig 1, Alexander Viehl 2, Benedikt Kämpgen 2, and Harald Eisenmann 1 1Airbus Defence and Space, Space Systems, Friedrichshafen, Germany {christian.hennig,harald.eisenmann}@airbus.com 2FZI Research Center for Information Technology, Karlsruhe, Germany {viehl,kaempgen}@fzi.de Abstract. In model-based systems engineering a model specifying the system's design is shared across a variety of disciplines and used to ensure the consisten- cy and quality of the overall design. Existing implementations for describing these system models exhibit a number of shortcomings regarding their approach to data management. In this emerging applications paper, we present the appli- cation of an ontology for space system design that provides increased semantic soundness of the underlying standardized data specification, enables reasoners to identify problems in the system, and allows the application of operational knowledge collected over past projects to the system to be designed. Based on a qualitative evaluation driven by data derived from an actual satellite design pro- ject, a reflection on the applicability of ontologies in the overall model-based systems engineering approach is pursued.

Each involved discipline has its own view on the system to be built, along with its own models, based on its own model semantics. For forming a consistent picture of the system, information from all relevant discipline-specific models is integrated towards an interdisciplinary system model, forming the practice of model-based sys- tems engineering (MBSE).
