Description logics for fuzzy ontologies on semantic web

To enable representation and reasoning for fuzzy ontologies with expressive fuzzy knowledge on the semantic web, a new fuzzy extension of description logics called the fuzzy description logics with comparison expressions （FCDLs） is presented. The syntax and semantics of FCDLs are formally defined, and the forms of axioms and assertions in FCDLs knowledge bases are specified. FCDLs combine both fuzzy concepts from the fuzzy description logics （FDLs） and cut concepts from the extended fuzzy description logics （EFDLs） in the same theory. Furthermore, cut concepts are extended into comparison cut concepts in FCDLs to represent comparison expressions between fuzzy membership degrees, which are often used in practice but not supported by the other fuzzy extensions of description logics. FCDLs have more expressive power than FDLs and EFDLs, and are able to represent expressive fuzzy knowledge and to perform reasoning tasks based on them. Therefore, FCDLs can enable representation and reasoning for fuzzy ontologies with expressive fuzzy knowledge on the semantic web.

Novel method for searching ontologies on semantic web

In order to solve the problem of information retrieval on the semantic web, a new semantic information retrieval （SIR） model for searching ontologies on the semantic web is proposed. First, SIR transformed domain ontologies into global ontologies. Then semantic index terms were extracted from these global ontologies. Based on semantic index terms, logical inferences can be performed and the logical views of the concept can be obtained. These logical views represent the expanded meaning of the concept. Using logical views, SIR can perform the information retrieval and inferences based on the semantic relationships in the documents, not only on the syntactic analysis of the documents. SIR can significantly enhance the recall and precision of the information retrieval by the semantic inference. Finally, the practicability of the SIR model is analyzed.

Capability matchmaking of semantic web services with preconditions and effects

In order to solve the problem that the current matchmaking methods for semantic web service mainly focus on the matchmaking of IO （inputs, outputs） descriptions which may result in one-sidedness, a description-logic-based IOPE （inputs, outputs, preconditions, effects） description and matchmaking method is proposed for semantic web service. The description logic concept is used to annotate service IO and the description logic assertion is employed to describe service PE（preconditions, effects）. TBox subsumption checking is used to measure the subsumption relationship between IO descriptions of service request and advertising; ABox consistency checking is used for checking the logical implication between PE descriptions of service request and advertising. Based upon the logical implication, four kinds of PE matching degrees are proposed to measure and compare the pros and cons of the results of matchmaking. They are the exact, perfect, side-effect and common match. Experiments show that the method has a higher precision rate under the same recall rate compared with the existing method.

Reducing semantic bias of annotations for semantic web service discovery

In order to improve the effectiveness of semantic web service discovery, the semantic bias between an interface parameter and an annotation is reduced by extracting semantic restrictions for the annotation from the description context and generating refined semantic annotations, and then the semantics of the web service is refined. These restrictions are dynamically extracted from the parsing tree of the description text, with the guide of the restriction template extracted from the ontology definition. New semantic annotations are then generated by combining the original concept with the restrictions and represented via refined concept expressions. In addition, a novel semantic similarity measure for refined concept expressions is proposed for semantic web service discovery. Experimental results show that the matchmaker based on this method can improve the average precision of discovery and exhibit low computational complexity. Reducing the semantic bias by utilizing restriction information of annotations can refine the semantics of the web service and improve the discovery effectiveness.

New method for query answering in semantic web

To promote the efficiency of knowledge base retrieval based on description logic, the concept of assertional graph （AG）, which is directed labeled graph, is defined and a new AG-based retrieval method is put forward. This method converts the knowledge base and query clause into knowledge AG and query AG by making use of the given rules and then makes use of graph traversal to carry out knowledge base retrieval. The experiment indicates that the efficiency of this method exceeds, respectively, the popular RACER and KAON2 system by 0.4% and 3.3%. This method can obviously promote the efficiency of knowledge base retrieval.

Configuration knowledge modeling of customizable products based on semantic web technologies

In order to solve the problem of modeling product configuration knowledge at the semantic level to successfully implement the mass customization strategy, an approach of ontology-based configuration knowledge modeling, combining semantic web technologies, was proposed. A general configuration ontology was developed to provide a common concept structure for modeling configuration knowledge and rules of specific product domains. The OWL web ontology language and semantic web rule language （SWRL） were used to formally represent the configuration ontology, domain configuration knowledge and rules to enhance the consistency, maintainability and reusability of all the configuration knowledge. The configuration knowledge modeling of a customizable personal computer family shows that the approach can provide explicit, computerunderstandable knowledge semantics for specific product configuration domains and can efficiently support automatic configuration tasks of complex products.

Efficient semantic web service matching using common ontology

A 5-tuple based semantic information retrieval model is proposed, which includes the interoperation on the semantic layer, and a test process is given for this model. The recall ratio and the precision ratio of manufacturing knowledge retrieval are proved to be greatly improved by evaluation. Thus, a practical and reliable approach based on the semantic web is provided for solving the correlated concrete problems in regional networked manufacturing.

Security integrated framework for semantic web based on social intelligence

An integrated security framework for a semantic web is proposed based on the social intelligence of an individual＇s avoiding harm and preserving transaction logic-integrity. The framework extends the semantic web model and controls the dynamic security of semantic web services, such as trust, logic and reasoning. It includes four layers, that is, a trust entrance layer, a social intelligence layer, a transaction layer, and a TCP/IP security protocols layer. The trust entrance layer deals with trustable features from users. Social intelligence layer is responsible for logical questions for a semantic web. The transaction layer carries out transaction reasoning. And the TCP/IP security protocols layer ensures security communication. These layers can cooperate to build closed-security-ring with different security grades. The integrated security framework provides an integrated security method for semantic web flow so that it is universal for various semantic web technologies.

Linking a Game Engine Environment to Architectural Information on the Semantic Web

Because of the importance of graphics and information within the domain of architecture, engineering and construction （AEC）, an appropriate combination of visualization technology and information management technology is of utter importance in the development of appropriately supporting design and construction applications. Virtual environments, however, tend not to make this information available. The sparse number of applications that present additional information furthermore tend to limit their scope to pure construction information and do not incorporate information from loosely related knowledge domains, such as cultural heritage or architectural history information. We therefore started an investigation of two of the newest developments in these domains, namely game engine technology and semantic web technology. This paper documents part of this research, containing a review and comparison of the most prominent game engines and documenting our architectural semantic web. A short test-case illustrates how both can be combined to enhance information visualization for architectural design and construction.

Review of Semantic Web Service Composition Based on OWL-S

By analyzing of the existing Web services,an ontology based on OWL is presented,which has rich semantic information,and the service description language OWL-S based on OWL is put forward.

So a method is presented by using Situation Calculus for automatic service composition based on the OWL-S model. Finally through the example analysis,the method of automatic service combination was validated.

Using Semantic Web Technologies to Improve the Extract Transform Load Model

Semantic Web(SW)provides new opportunities for the study and application of big data,massive ranges of data sets in varied formats from multiple sources.Related studies focus on potential SW technologies for resolving big data problems,such as structurally and semantically heterogeneous data that result from the variety of data formats(structured,semi-structured,numeric,unstructured text data,email,video,audio,stock ticker).SW offers information semantically both for people and machines to retain the vast volume of data and provide a meaningful output of unstructured data.In the current research,we implement a new semantic Extract Transform Load(ETL)model that uses SW technologies for aggregating,integrating,and representing data as linked data.First,geospatial data resources are aggregated from the internet,and then a semantic ETL model is used to store the aggregated data in a semantic model after converting it to Resource Description Framework(RDF)format for successful integration and representation.The principal contribution of this research is the synthesis,aggregation,and semantic representation of geospatial data to solve problems.A case study of city data is used to illustrate the semantic ETL model’s functionalities.The results show that the proposed model solves the structural and semantic heterogeneity problems in diverse data sources for successful data aggregation,integration,and representation.

Evaluation of Multistrategy Classifiers for Heterogeneous Ontology Matching On the Semantic Web

On the semantic web, data interoperability and ontology heterogeneity are becoming ever more important issues. To resolve these problems, multiple classification methods can be used to learn the matching between ontologies. The paper uses the general statistic classification method to discover category features in data instances and use the first-order learning algorithm FOIL to exploit the semantic relations among data instances. When using multistrategy learning approach, a central problem is the evaluation of multistrategy classifiers. The goal and the conditions of using multistrategy classifiers within ontology matching are different from the ones for general text classification. This paper describes the combination rule of multiple classifiers called the Best Outstanding Champion, which is suitable for heterogeneous ontology mapping. On the prediction results of individual methods, the method can well accumulate the correct matching of alone classifier. The experiments show that the approach achieves high accuracy on real-world domain.

Pre-filtering based automatic composition of multi-QoS semantic web services

To support the rapid automatic services composition and fulfill multi-quality of service （multi- QoS） demand, we propose a novel approach to realize services composition automatically by a prefihering process. Aimed at a set of web services with similar functionality and different quality of service （QoS） , a semantic services chain is given and a corresponding constructing algorithm is proposed to construct the data structure. A pre-filtering process is put forward to find whether a composition service before planning exists. It can avoid aborted planning. An optimal planning algorithm is proposed which can choose the most suitable service from a lot of similar candidate services based on semantic service chains and multi-QoS values. The algorithms can improve the correctness and automation performances of automated semantic web services composition. As an example, a concrete composite process is analyzed. Experimental results show the validity of the composite process.
