军事领域本体构建研究

Research on Military Domain Ontology Development

在仿真系统的研究过程中,面临军事领域知识获取及不同应用之间的互操作等问题。这些难题的背后实际是技术人员和军事人员之间理解一致性和机器之间理解一致性的问题。本体是关于事物本质的模型,已被广泛应用于知识分类、表达、共享及重用等方面。首先,讨论了本体的概念并给出了领域本体构建的一套通用原则和方法。然后详细分析了军事领域本体所包含的各方面知识元素,包括作战单元类、单元之间的关系、交战行为、交战规则、武器装备、作战计划等,并分别给出了它们的简单表示结构。最后概要讨论了多个本体合并时的本体检验问题。标准化的军事知识表示结构可以为技术人员和军事人员之间的交流提供统一的认识和参照,为机器之间的互操作提供一种"语言",从而消除理解上的冲突和混乱,为作战仿真系统的开发扫清了道路。

Military knowledge acquisition and inter-operation among different applications are difficult problems in developing military simulation systems.The coherent comprehension between technical experts and military experts and between machine and machine stands behind the two big problems.Ontology is the model about the essence of things,and it has been widely applied in many aspects,such as knowledge classification,representation,sharing and reusing,etc.Firstly,the concept of ontology is analyzed and a set of general principles and steps of ontology development are presented firstly.This is followed by detailed analysis of all knowledge elements involved in military domain,including combat units and relationships between them,combat actions,engagement rules,equipments,operation plans,etc.Then the representation structures of the knowledge elements are described one by one.Finally ontology checking is briefly discussed.The standard military knowledge representation structures can be used as a common reference for the communication between technical experts and military experts and as a ＂language＂ to facilitate the communication between machines.It can eliminate the disagreement on comprehension of the same things and help to develop the military simulation system.
