Formalising Ontologies and Their Relations

1999
Ontologies allow the abstract conceptualisation of domains, but a given domain can be conceptualised through many different ontologies, which can be problematic when ontologies are used to support knowledge sharing. We present a formal account of ontologies that is intended to support knowledge sharing through precise characterisations of relationships

Ontology-Aware Biomedical Relation Extraction

2022
Motivation Automatically extracting relationships from biomedical texts among multiple sorts of entities is an essential task in biomedical natural language processing with numerous applications, such as drug development or repurposing, precision medicine, and other biomedical tasks requiring knowledge discovery ...

An ontology-extended relational algebra

Proceedings Fifth IEEE Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications, 2004
Heterogeneous relational databases being integrated vary widely in how the same data is represented. We propose the notion of an ontology extended relation (OER). An OER contains an ordinary relation as well as an associated ontology that conveys semantic meaning about the terms being used. We extend the relational algebra to query OERs.

From Ontology to Relational Databases

2004
The semantic web envisions a World Wide Web in which data is described with rich semantics and applications can pose complex queries. Ontologies, a cornerstone of the semantic web, have gained wide popularity as a model of information in a given domain that can be used for many purposes, including enterprise integration, database design, information ...

On the discovery of subsumption relations for the alignment of ontologies

Journal of Web Semantics, 2010
For the effective alignment of ontologies, the subsumption mappings between the elements of the source and target ontologies play a crucial role, as much as equivalence mappings do. This paper presents the "Classification-Based Learning of Subsumption Relations" (CSR) method for the alignment of ontologies. Given a pair of two ontologies, the objective

Ontology of units of measure and related concepts

Semantic Web, 2013
This paper describes the Ontology of units of Measure and related concepts (OM), an OWL ontology of the domain of quantities and units of measure. OM supports making quantitative research data more explicit, so that the data can be integrated, verified and reproduced. The various options for modeling the domain are discussed.

Relational Crossover in Evolutionary Ontologies

2015
In this paper we introduce a new genetic operator, namely relational crossover applied to evolutionary ontologies recently defined. Also we demonstrate that the relations preserve properties like reflexivity, irreflexivity, symmetry, antisymmetry, asymmetry, transitivity after applying relational crossover operator.

Probabilistic Ontologies and Relational Databases

2005
The relational algebra and calculus do not take the semantics of terms into account when answering queries. As a consequence, not all tuples that should be returned in response to a query are always returned, leading to low recall. In this paper, we propose the novel notion of a constrained probabilistic ontology (CPO).

Relational Process Ontology

Administration & Society, 2013
This article presents a Governance Typology comprising philosophical and practical theoretical elements which compose four ideal-types found in dominant Western political theory, what we label Institutional, Holographic, Atomistic, and Fragmented governance types.

The relations of logic and semantics to ontology

Journal of Philosophical Logic, 1974
We have employed our semantical theory to investigate the matter of the ontological commitment of logic and semantics, and have found the following results: (i) The logical predicates, such as “or” and “entials”, are about statements not about any other objects.
