论文摘要
建立本体不仅是一个耗时的过程,而且也令人困惑,尤其是对于初学者和经验不足的过程。尽管本体论开发人员可以在构建本体论方面的领域专家的帮助,但由于多种原因,它们在多种情况下不容易获得。本体论开发人员必须解决与应包括的类,属性和公理的选择有关的几个问题。除此之外,还应该照顾模块化和可重复性之类的方面。从链接的开放式词汇(LOV)和生物规模等存储库中的成千上万个公开可用的本体论和词汇中,很难知道可以在本体论发展中重复使用的术语(类和属性)。从几种可用的几个可用中实施正确的本体设计模式(ODP)也存在类似的问题。通常,本体论开发人员利用他们的经验来处理这些问题,没有经验的问题很难。为了弥合这一差距,我们提出了一种名为Ontoseer的工具,该工具可以监视本体发展过程,并实时提供建议,以提高正在开发的本体论的质量。它可以为遵循的命名惯例提供建议,重复使用的词汇,实施ODP以及将添加到本体论中的公理。 Ontoseer已被实施为Protégé插件。
Building an ontology is not only a time-consuming process, but it is also confusing, especially for beginners and the inexperienced. Although ontology developers can take the help of domain experts in building an ontology, they are not readily available in several cases for a variety of reasons. Ontology developers have to grapple with several questions related to the choice of classes, properties, and the axioms that should be included. Apart from this, there are aspects such as modularity and reusability that should be taken care of. From among the thousands of publicly available ontologies and vocabularies in repositories such as Linked Open Vocabularies (LOV) and BioPortal, it is hard to know the terms (classes and properties) that can be reused in the development of an ontology. A similar problem exists in implementing the right set of ontology design patterns (ODPs) from among the several available. Generally, ontology developers make use of their experience in handling these issues, and the inexperienced ones have a hard time. In order to bridge this gap, we propose a tool named OntoSeer, that monitors the ontology development process and provides suggestions in real-time to improve the quality of the ontology under development. It can provide suggestions on the naming conventions to follow, vocabulary to reuse, ODPs to implement, and axioms to be added to the ontology. OntoSeer has been implemented as a Protégé plug-in.
