Abstract

This paper describes a new environment, COE, for capturing and formally representing expert knowledge for use in the Semantic Web. COE exploits the ease of use and rapid knowledge construction capabilities of the CmapTools concept mapping system and extends them to support the import and export of formal, machine-interpretable knowledge representations, such as OWL, across multiple ontologies. Pragati's ExpozT tool suite complements COE's ontology construction, browsing and navigation features by providing cluster-based search capabilities that expose existing reusable concepts relevant to the user's focus of attention.

Information retrieval from relational databases using semantic queries
CIKM '06: Proceedings of the 15th ACM international conference on Information and knowledge management

Relational databases are widely used today as a mechanism for providing access to structured data. They, however, are not suitable for typical information finding tasks of end users. There is often a semantic gap between the queries users want to ...
Using SPARQL to query bioportal ontologies and metadata

BioPortal is a repository of biomedical ontologies--the largest such repository, with more than 300 ontologies to date. This set includes ontologies that were developed in OWL, OBO and other languages, as well as a large number of medical terminologies ...
Addressing semantic heterogeneity through multiple knowledge base assisted merging of domain-specific ontologies

With the development of the Semantic Web (SW), the creation of ontologies to formally conceptualize our understanding of various domains has widely increased in number. However, the conceptual and terminological differences (a.k.a semantic heterogeneity ...
