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.

A Knowledge Model System for Wheat Production Management

A knowledge model with temporal and spatial characteristics for the quantitative design of a cultural pattern in wheat production, using systems analysis and dynamic modeling techniques, was developed for wheat management, as a decision-making tool in digital farming. The fundamental relationships and algorithms of wheat growth indices and management criteria to cultivars, ecological environments, and production levels were derived from the existing literature and research data to establish a knowledge model system for quantitative wheat management using Visual C^＋＋. The system designed a cultural management plan for general management guidelines and crop regulation indices for timecourse control criteria during the wheat-growing period. The cultural management plan module included submodels to determine target grain yield and quality, cultivar choice, sowing date, population density, sowing rate, fertilization strategy, and water management, whereas the crop regulation indices module included submodels for suitable development stages, dynamic growth indices, source-sink indices, and nutrient indices. Ewluation of the knowledge model by design studies on the basis of data sets of different eco-sites, cultiwrs, and soil types indicated a favorable performance of the model system in recommending growth indices and management criteria under diverse conditions. Practical application of the knowledge model system in comparative field experiments produced yield gains of 2.4% to 16.5%. Thus, the presented knowledge model system overcame some of the difficulties of the traditional wheat management patterns and expert systems, and laid a foundation for facilitating the digitization of wheat management.

The MBDSSWM realized the effective integration and coupling of the prediction and decision-making functions for digital crop management.

Effects of the information–knowledge–attitude–practice nursing model combined with predictability intervention on patients with cerebrovascular disease

BACKGROUND Cerebrovascular disease(CVD)poses a serious threat to human health and safety.Thus,developing a reasonable exercise program plays an important role in the long-term recovery and prognosis for patients with CVD.Studies have shown that predictive nursing can improve the quality of care and that the information–knowledge–attitude–practice(IKAP)nursing model has a positive impact on patients who suffered a stroke.Few studies have combined these two nursing models to treat CVD.AIM To explore the effect of the IKAP nursing model combined with predictive nursing on the Fugl–Meyer motor function(FMA)score,Barthel index score,and disease knowledge mastery rate in patients with CVD.METHODS A total of 140 patients with CVD treated at our hospital between December 2019 and September 2021 were randomly divided into two groups,with 70 patients in each.The control group received routine nursing,while the observation group received the IKAP nursing model combined with predictive nursing.Both groups were observed for self-care ability,motor function,and disease knowledge mastery rate after one month of nursing.RESULTS There was no clear difference between the Barthel index and FMA scores of the two groups before nursing(P>0.05);however,their scores increased after nursing.This increase was more apparent in the observation group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The rates of disease knowledge mastery,timely medication,appropriate exercise,and reasonable diet were significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group(P<0.05).The satisfaction rate in the observation group(97.14%)was significantly higher than that in the control group(81.43%;P<0.05).CONCLUSION The IKAP nursing model,combined with predictive nursing,is more effective than routine nursing in the care of patients with CVD,and it can significantly improve the Barthel index and FMA scores with better knowledge acquisition,as well as produce high satisfaction in patients.Moreover,they can be widely used in the clinical setting.

Large Knowledge Model:Perspectives and Challenges

Humankind's understanding of the world is fundamentally linked to our perception and cognition,with human languages serving as one of the major carriers of world knowledge.In this vein,Large Language Models(LLMs)like ChatGPT epitomize the pre-training of extensive,sequence-based world knowledge into neural networks,facilitating the processing and manipulation of this knowledge in a parametric space.This article explores large models through the lens of"knowledge".We initially investigate the role of symbolic knowledge such as Knowledge Graphs(KGs)in enhancing LLMs,covering aspects like knowledge-augmented language model,structure-inducing pretraining,knowledgeable prompts,structured CoT,knowledge editing,semantic tools for LLM and knowledgeable Al agents.Subsequently,we examine how LLMs can boost traditional symbolic knowledge bases,encompassing aspects like using LLM as KG builder and controller,structured knowledge pretraining,and LLM-enhanced symbolic reasoning.Considering the intricate nature of human knowledge,we advocate for the creation of Large Knowledge Models(LKM),specifically engineered to manage diversified spectrum of knowledge structures.This promising undertaking would entail several key challenges,such as disentangling knowledge base from language models,cognitive alignment with human knowledge,integration of perception and cognition,and building large commonsense models for interacting with physical world,among others.We finally propose a five-"A"principle to distinguish the concept of LKM.

Boosting multi-features with prior knowledge for mini unmanned helicopter landmark detection

Without sufficient real training data,the data driven classification algorithms based on boosting method cannot solely be utilized to applications such as the mini unmanned helicopter landmark image detection.In this paper,we propose an approach which uses a boosting algorithm with the prior knowledge for the mini unmanned helicopter landmark image detection.The stage forward stagewise additive model of boosting is analyzed,and the approach how to combine it with the prior knowledge model is presented.The approach is then applied to landmark image detection,where the multi-features are boosted to solve a series of problems,such as rotation,noises affected,etc.Results of real flight experiments demonstrate that for small training examples the boosted learning system using prior knowledge is dramatically better than the one driven by data only.

Knowledge Model for Electric Power Big Data Based on Ontology and Semantic Web

It is very important for the development of electric power big data technology to use the electric power knowledge.A new electric power knowledge theory model is proposed here to solve the problem of normalized modeled electric power knowledge for the management and analysis of electric power big data.Current modeling techniques of electric power knowledge are viewed as inadequate because of the complexity and variety of the relationships among electric power system data.Ontology theory and semantic web technologies used in electric power systems and in many other industry domains provide a new kind of knowledge modeling method.Based on this,this paper proposes the structure,elements,basic calculations and multidimensional reasoning method of the new knowledge model.A modeling example of the regulations defined in electric power system operation standard is demonstrated.Different forms of the model and related technologies are also introduced,including electric power system standard modeling,multi-type data management,unstructured data searching,knowledge display and data analysis based on semantic expansion and reduction.Research shows that the new model developed here is powerful and can adapt to various knowledge expression requirements of electric power big data.With the development of electric power big data technology,it is expected that the knowledge model will be improved and will be used in more applications.

Knowledge modeling based on interval-valued fuzzy rough set and similarity inference: prediction of welding distortion

Knowledge-based modeling is a trend in complex system modeling technology. To extract the process knowledge from an information system, an approach of knowledge modeling based on interval-valued fuzzy rough set is presented in this paper, in which attribute reduction is a key to obtain the simplified knowledge model. Through defining dependency and inclusion functions, algorithms for attribute reduction and rule extraction are obtained. The approximation inference plays an important role in the development of the fuzzy system. To improve the inference mechanism, we provide a method of similaritybased inference in an interval-valued fuzzy environment. Combining the conventional compositional rule of inference with similarity based approximate reasoning, an inference result is deduced via rule translation, similarity matching, relation modification, and projection operation. This approach is applied to the problem of predicting welding distortion in marine structures, and the experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed methods of knowledge modeling and similarity-based inference.

A Practical Approach to Constructing a Geological Knowledge Graph:A Case Study of Mineral Exploration Data

Open data initiatives have promoted governmental agencies and scientific organizations to publish data online for reuse.Research of geoscience focuses on processing georeferenced quantitative data(e.g.,rock parameters,geochemical tests,geophysical surveys and satellite imagery)for discovering new knowledge.Geological knowledge is the cognitive result of human knowledge of the spatial distribution,evolution and interaction patterns of geological objects or processes.Knowledge graphs(KGs)can formalize unstructured knowledge into structured form and have been used in supporting decision-making recently.In this paper,we propose a novel framework that can extract the geological knowledge graph(GKG)from public reports relating to a modelling study.Based on the analysis of basic questions answered by geology,we summarize and abstract geological knowledge elements and then explore a geological knowledge representation model with three levels of“geological conceptsgeological entities-geological relations”to describe semantic units of geological knowledge and their logic relations.Finally,based on the characteristics of mineral resource reports,the geological knowledge representation model oriented to“object relationships”and the hierarchical geological knowledge representation model oriented to“process relationships”are proposed with reference to the commonly used geological knowledge graph representation.The research in this paper can provide some implications for the formalization and structured representation of geological knowledge graphs.

Dictionary,Thesaurus or Ontology? Disentangling Our Choices in the Semantic Web Jungle

The Semantic Web seems finally close to maintaining its promise about a real world-wide graph of interconnected resources. The SPARQL query language and protocols and the Linked Open Data initiative have laid the way for endless data endpoints sparse around the globe. However, for the Semantic Web to really happen, it does not suffice to get billions of triples out there： these must be shareable, interlinked and conform to widely accepted vocabularies. While more and more data are converted from already available large knowledge repositories of companies and organizations, the question whether these should be carefully converted to semantically consistent ontology vocabularies or find other shallow representations for their content naturally arises. The danger is to come up with massive amounts of useless data, a boomerang which could result to be contradictory for the success of the web of data. In this paper, I provide some insights on common problems which may arise when porting huge amount of existing data or conceptual schemes （very common in the agriculture domain） to resource description framwork （RDF）, and will address different modeling choices, by discussing in particular the relationship between the two main modeling vocabularies offered by W3C： OWL and SKOS.

An ontology model to represent aquaponics 4.0 system’s knowledge

Aquaponics,one of the vertical farming methods,is a combination of aquaculture and hydroponics.To enhance the production capabilities of the aquaponics system and maxi-mize crop yield on a commercial level,integration of Industry 4.0 technologies is needed.Industry 4.0 is a strategic initiative characterized by the fusion of emerging technologies such as big data and analytics,internet of things,robotics,cloud computing,and artificial intelligence.The realization of aquaponics 4.0,however,requires an efficient flow and inte-gration of data due to the presence of complex biological processes.A key challenge in this essence is to deal with the semantic heterogeneity of multiple data resources.An ontology that is regarded as one of the normative tools solves the semantic interoperation problem by describing,extracting,and sharing the domains’knowledge.In the field of agriculture,several ontologies are developed for the soil-based farming methods,but so far,no attempt has been made to represent the knowledge of the aquaponics 4.0 system in the form of an ontology model.Therefore,this study proposes a unified ontology model,AquaONT,to rep-resent and store the essential knowledge of an aquaponics 4.0 system.This ontology pro-vides a mechanism for sharing and reusing the aquaponics 4.0 system’s knowledge to solve the semantic interoperation problem.AquaONT is built from indoor vertical farming termi-nologies and is validated and implemented by considering experimental test cases related to environmental parameters,design configuration,and product quality.The proposed ontology model will help vertical farm practitioners with more transparent decision-making regarding crop production,product quality,and facility layout of the aquaponics farm.For future work,a decision support system will be developed using this ontology model and artificial intelligence techniques for autonomous data-driven decisions.
