Verification of the OWL-Time Ontology
نویسنده
چکیده
Ontology verification is concerned with the relationship between the intended structures for an ontology and the models of the axiomatization of the ontology. The verification of a particular ontology requires characterization of the models of the ontology up to isomorphism and a proof that these models are equivalent to the intended structures for the ontology. In this paper we provide the verification of the ontology of time introduced by Hobbs and Pan, which is a first-order axiomatization of OWL-Time. We identify five modules within this ontology and present a complete account of the metatheoretic relationships among the modules and between other time ontologies for points and intervals.

An Executive Approach Based On the Production of Fuzzy Ontology Using the Semantic Web Rule Language Method (SWRL)
Today, the need to deal with ambiguous information in semantic web languages is increasing. Ontology is an important part of the W3C standards for the semantic web, used to define a conceptual standard vocabulary for the exchange of data between systems, the provision of reusable databases, and the facilitation of collaboration across multiple systems. However, classical ontology is not enough ...
متن کاملVerifying OWL and ORL Ontologies in PVS
The Semantic Web vision is being realized to reach the full potential of the Web. Semantic data modeling is the foundation of the Semantic Web. The Web Ontology Language (OWL) and OWL Rules Language (ORL) provides basic machinery to the semantic mark-up for data. However, there is limited tool support for OWL and no tool support currently for ORL. In this paper, we propose to model OWL and ORL ...
متن کاملContext-aware Modeling for Spatio-temporal Data Transmitted from a Wireless Body Sensor Network
Context-aware systems must be interoperable and work across different platforms at any time and in any place. Context data collected from wireless body area networks (WBAN) may be heterogeneous and imperfect, which makes their design and implementation difficult. In this research, we introduce a model which takes the dynamic nature of a context-aware system into consideration. This model is con...
متن کاملPushing the Boundaries of Tractable Ontology Reasoning
We identify a class of Horn ontologies for which standard reasoning tasks such as instance checking and classification are tractable. The class is general enough to include the OWL 2 EL, QL, and RL profiles. Verifying whether a Horn ontology belongs to the class can be done in polynomial time. We show empirically that the class includes many real-world ontologies that are not included in any OW...
متن کاملVerifying feature models using OWL
Feature models are widely used in domain engineering to capture common and variant features among systems in a particular domain. However, he lack of a formal semantics and reasoning support of feature models has hindered the development of this area. Industrial experiences also how that methods and tools that can support feature model analysis are badly appreciated. Such reasoning tool should ...
