Ontology clustering by directions algorithm to expand ontology queries
PublicationThis paper concerns formulating ontology queries. It describes existing languages in which ontologies can be queried. It focuses on languages which are intended to be easily understood by users who are willing to retrieve information from ontologies. Such a language can be, for example, a type of controlled natural language (CNL). In this paper a novel algorithm called Ontology Clustering by Directions is presented. The algorithm...

Ontology Visualization
PublicationOntologie bardzo często są reprezentowane w postaci grafu, którego wierzchołkami są obiekty występujące w prezentowanej ontologii a krawędziami relacje i powiązania pomiędzy tymi obiektami. Grafy reprezentujące ontologie mogą być złożone już dla średniego rozmiaru ontologii. Stąd niezbędna jest pełna i czytelna reprezentacja elementów takiego grafu. Dostępne rozwiązania zazwyczaj nie oferują reprezentacji pełnego zbioru elementów...

Increasing the Efficiency of Ontology Alignment by Tracking Changes in Ontology Evolution
PublicationIn this paper we present a development of our ontology alignment framework based on varying semantics of attributes. Emphasising the analysis of explicitly given descriptions of how attributes change meanings they entail while being included within different concepts have been proved useful. Moreover, we claim that it is consistent with the intuitive way how people see the real world and how they find similarities and correspondences...

Ontology-Aided Software Engineering
PublicationThis thesis is located between the fields of research on Artificial Intelligence (AI), Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KRR), Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE) and Model Driven Engineering (MDE). The modern offspring of KRR - Description Logic (DL) [Baad03] is considered here as a formalization of the software engineering Methods & Tools. The bridge between the world of formal specification (governed by the mathematics)...

Contextual ontology for tonality assessment
Publicationclassification tasks. The discussion focuses on two important research hypotheses: (1) whether it is possible to construct such an ontology from a corpus of textual document, and (2) whether it is possible and beneficial to use inferencing from this ontology to support the process of sentiment classification. To support the first hypothesis we present a method of extraction of hierarchy of contexts from a set of textual documents...

Security ontology construction and integration
PublicationThere are many different levels on which we can examine security. Each one is different from others, all of them are dependent on the context. Hence the need to bear additional knowledge enabling efficient utilization of the knowledge by the computers. Such information can be provided by ontologies. The paper presentsgathered requirements needed to be taken into account when creating an ontology. The method of ontology creation...

IT Business Standards as an Ontology Domain
PublicationThe aim of this paper is to report a selection of Semantic Web aspects pertaining to ontology development activities in the domain of the IT business standard (TOGAF 9) such as formulating competency questions, conceptualization of the domain, resolution of the source knowledge deficiency and applying common design patterns in the OWL formalization. Authors also try to determine target groups that may benefit from such ontology...

Extendable Safety and Security Ontology
PublicationSecurity plays an increasingly important role in our everyday life, and research and users of computer systems point out that the need arises for a common, formalised model capable of integrating different solutions. In this paper we show that an ontology can be designed and created in a way that will make it suitable for interoperability and integration. A security and safety ontology and the methodology for creating a common...

Application of Ontology In the ITIL Domain
PublicationBusiness standards tend to be less formal in description then strict technical norms. Authors of this chapter suggest applying ontological description (powered by the capabilities of the OWL language) to express Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL). One of the goals of this initial study is to determine the usefulness of such semantic model in organizations that adopted or plan to adopt ITIL.

Hybrid approach to ontology specification and development
PublicationIn this chapter a first draft of a hybrid ontology development approach is presented. The context of this method encompasses the multi-agent system equipped with knowledge bases and inferring engine. The process of ontology engineering appears as a complex issue, as it addresses different point-views of both, a client and a modeler with a requirements/system analyst. Regarding this, an approach based on the knowledge preprocessing...

Towards Use of OntoClean for Ontology Contextualization
PublicationOntologies are formal systems of concepts used to describe numerous domains of interest. Ontologies are usually very expressive, but it comes at a price of computationally expensive reasoning over them. In our previous work we discussed the possible performance benefits that can be obtained by decomposing an ontology into contexts. While the benefits are appealing, we discovered that, in our case, the main obstacle against using...

Ontology as a Tool for the IT Management Standards Support
PublicationIn this paper the authors discuss the initial idea of using ontologies to model requirements of the standards that support IT management processes. The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) is set as an example. A need for transition from the generic model do the organization-specific one is indicated. The described example serves as a ground for considering the usefulness of such modeling approach in the wider spectrum of...

Algebra of ontology modules for semantic agents
PublicationW środowisku Sieci Semantycznej problem precyzyjnego manipulowania jednostkami wiedzy nabiera szczególnego znaczenia. W tej publikacji dyskutujemy możliwość zaadaptowania do tego celu elastycznego aparatu algebry relacyjnej. Na bazie dysksji szkicujemy pewną szczególną analogię pomiędzy bazami danych a bazami wiedzy i używamy tej analogii do wprowadzenia algebry modułów semantycznych.

Ontology oriented threat detection system
PublicationW niniejszym artykule przedstawiony jest projekt opartego o ntologię systemu wykrywania zagrożeń w różnego typu monitorowanych środowiskach (OOTDS). Zakłada się, że umieszczone w środowisku czujniki na bieżąco dostarczają systemowi zdarzeń odzwierciedlających zmiany zachodzące w środowisku. Korzystając z sieci asynchronicznych bloków rosnącej złożoności OOTDS dokonuje analizy otrzymanych zdarzeń. Bloki wstępnego przetwarzania konwertują...

Ontology management in the multi-agent system for the it evaluation
PublicationThe team of researchers at the Gdańsk University of Technology is currently developing a model of the multi-agent system (MAS_IT) that would aid the IT managers to find the most appropriate technology to the goals assumed. The knowledge is to be provided by experts and stored in the facts and rules bases. The responsibility of the verification process-on the input and query stages-is given to the ontology, making it to some extend...

Ontology Engineering Aspects in the Intelligent Systems Development
PublicationThe ontology engineering encompasses both, artificial intelligence methods and software engineering discipline. The paper tries to address a selection of aspects pertaining to development activities such as choice of the environmental framework, functionality description, specification methods and roles definition. Authors refer to the ontology development projects they were involved in.

Developing an Ontology from Set of Experience KnowledgeStructure
PublicationWhen referring to knowledge forms,collecting for all decision eventsin a knowledge-explicit way becomes a significant ask for any company. Set of experience knowledge structure can assis in accomplishing this purpose.However,after collecting,distributing and sharing that knowledge as adecisional DNA is even a more important advance.Distributing and sharing companies' decisional DNA through an efficient development of Ontologies...

OSC - domain oriented ontology creation system
PublicationOntologies are, as part of semantic web, a basic component to enrich content available in the Internet with a meaning understandable for computers. In this publication an architecture and functionality of a domain oriented web portal for collaborative creation and storage of ontologies is presented. The system is being created by Gdańsk University of Technology Electronics, Telecommunications and Informatics faculty's Department...
