规则驱动的企业互操作本体构造

Rules-driven enterprises interoperability ontology construction

为解决企业互操作中信息共享与重用问题,提出了一种基于规则集和对象关系数据库的企业互操作本体构造方法。首先给出了企业互操作的本体构造模型,然后依据该模型提出了从对象关系数据库构造本体的四类规则,并给出了相应的形式化定义和Web本体描述语言。使用该四类规则可以分别构造出本体的类、属性、属性特征和属性约束四类要素。实验表明,该方法是可行且高效的,与关系数据库构造本体的方法相比减少了约18%的构造时间。将该方法实际应用到企业互操作平台中,取得了良好效果。

To solve the problems of information sharing and reuse in enterprises interoperation, an approach to construct ontology based on Object-Relational Databases （ORDB） and a set of rules were proposed. Ontology construction model of interoperation was presented firstly. Then, four types of rules in ontology construction were formalized including class, properties, property characteristics and property restrictions. Also the corresponding formal definition and Web Ontology Language （OWL） description of constructing rules was also given. Experimental results showed that the approach was feasible and effective. It reduced about 18% construction time compared to the ontology construction from relational databases. Also this approach was applied in enterprises interoperation and was proved to be practical.
