符号学视角下语义网定义及其理论框架的再认识

Re-understanding of the Definition of Semantic Web and its Theoretical Framework from the Perspective of Semiology

语义网在最近二十年间获得了长足的发展,但目前学界和业界对语义网定义及其理论框架的认识仍模糊不清,相关研究多以技术支持为主,而鲜有系统深入的理论分析,这不利于语义网的长期发展。为此,本文首先通过对符号三角模型的研究与扩展,选定若干与语义网相关的核心原始概念;然后,以此为基础比较分析三类典型的语义网定义;最后通过本体分析,深入讨论语义网的资源网络本质属性。基于以上讨论和分析结果,本文将给出以其核心属性为构成要素的语义网定义,并基于此定义重构语义网的理论框架,以期完善当前语义网基础理论体系。

Semantic web has gained considerable development in the last two decades, yet the definition of semantic web and its theoretical framework are still ambigous, the related research was mostly proposed for technical support, and there is few systematic and in-depth theozcfical analysis, which is not conducive to the development of semantic web in a long-term. To address this problem, firstly, this paper chose several core primary concepts related to semantic web by discussing and expanding the dassic ＂semiotic triangle＂ model. Then, based on these primary concepts, it discussed and compared three kinds of typical semantic web definitions. Finally, through ontological analysis, it discussed semantic web as a resource network through its core properties. According to above discussion and analysis, it proposed a new definition of semantic web with its core attributes as the constituent elements, and reconstructed the theoretical framework of semantic web based on this definition, in order to improve the foundamental theoratical framework of semantic web.
