Iterchanging Discrete Event Simulationprocess Interaction Modelsusing The Web Ontology Language - Owl
… have been encoded using high-level programming languages or special purpose, typically vendor-specific, simulation languages. These approaches complicate simulation model reuse and interchange. The current document-centric World Wide Web is evolving into a Semantic Web that communicates …

Building a Knowledge Graph for Food, Energy, and Water Systems
A knowledge graph represents millions of facts and reliable information about people, places, and things. Several companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google have developed knowledge graphs to better customer experience. These knowledge graphs have proven their reliability and their usage for …

Collaborative learning utilizing a domain-based shared data repository to enhance learning outcomes
… of learning paradigms have postulated that knowledge formation is a dynamic process where learners actively construct a representation of concepts integrating information from multiple sources. Current teaching strategies utilize a compartmentalized approach where individual courses contain a …

Valid Time RDF
<p>The Semantic Web aims at building a foundation of semantic-based data models and languages for not only manipulating data and knowledge, but also supporting decision making by machines. Naturally, time-varying data and knowledge are required in Semantic Web applications to incorporate time and …

Information extraction from chemical patents
… relations that are not present in the ChEBI ontology, suggesting that it could function as a valuable aid to the ChEBI curators. The relations discovered by this process are formalised using the Web Ontology Language (OWL) to enable re-use. PatentEye – an automated system for the extraction …

Improving the Performance of Parallel SPARQL Query Processing on Apache Spark Using Bloom Filters
… standard model for data representation on the Web. In RDF, IRIs are used to represent entities and their relationships. SPARQL is the query language for RDF. Today, popular knowledge bases on the Web (e.g., Wikidata, YAGO, Linked Data) employ RDF and SPARQL for representing data and querying …

… the representation of and reasoning on musical knowledge in the Semantic Web. The Semantic Web is an evolving extension of the World Wide Web that aims at describing information that is distributed on the web in a machine-processable form. Existing approaches to modelling musical knowledge in the …

OWL-Miner: Concept Induction in OWL Knowledge Bases
The Resource Description Framework (RDF) and Web Ontology Language (OWL) have been widely used in recent years, and automated methods for the analysis of data and knowledge directly within these formalisms are of current interest. Concept induction is a technique for discovering descriptions of …

Human Reasoning and Description Logics: Applying Psychological Theory to Understand and Improve the Usability of Description Logics
… Logics (DLs) are now the most commonly used ontology languages, in part because of the development of the Web Ontology Language (OWL) standards. Yet it is accepted that DLs are difficult to comprehend and work with, particularly for ontology users who are not computer scientists. The …

A Lightweight Framework for Universal Fragment Composition
Domain-specific languages (DSLs) are useful tools for coping with complexity in software development. DSLs provide developers with appropriate constructs for specifying and solving the problems they are faced with. While the exact definition of DSLs can vary, they can roughly be divided into two …

Designing novel abstraction networks for ontology summarization and quality assurance
Biomedical ontologies are complex knowledge representation systems. Biomedical ontologies support interdisciplinary research, interoperability of medical systems, and Electronic Healthcare Record (EHR) encoding. Ontologies represent knowledge using concepts (entities) linked by relationships. …

Semantics for the Web of Things: Modeling the Physical World as a Collection of Things and Reasoning with their Descriptions
… would provide foundations for the development of Web of Things (WoT) systems. A theory for WoT shall provide a model of the ‘things’ WoT agents relate to such that these relations determine what interactions take place between these agents. This thesis presents a knowledge-based approach in which …

Automated Reasoning via a Multi-sorted Fragment of Computable Set Theory with Applications to Semantic Web
Semantic Web is a vision of the web in which machine-readable data enables software agents to manipulate and query information on behalf of human agents. To achieve such goal, machines are provided with appropriate languages and tools. Investigating new technologies which can extend the power of …
