The ORDBase architecture is introduced as a common platform for Web ontologies, rules, and data. The ontology base (here using OWL) is well-suited to represent structured knowledge. The rule base (here using RuleML) is the key to inferencing, whose predefined rules serve for translating the OWL semantics, also user-defined rules are considered. The database (here using SQL) provides for fast re...

In this paper we argue that concrete User Interfaces (UI) languages are not suitable for adaptation. In addition, we point out the fact that the quality of tailored UIs is far better than the quality of automatically generated UIs. Therefore we propose to capitalize human designed UIs in a structured knowledge base as promoted by Service Oriented Approaches. The base aims at supporting designer...

Users may ask a service robot to accomplish various tasks so that the designer of the robot cannot program each of the tasks beforehand. As more and more open-source knowledge resources become available, it is worthwhile trying to make use of open-source knowledge resources for service robots. The challenge lies in the autonomous identification, acquisition and utilization of missing knowledge ...

We describe a learning approach to automatically building knowledge bases for information extraction from multiple text based web pages. A frame based representation is introduced to represent domain knowledge as knowledge unit frames. A frame learning algorithm is developed to automatically learn knowledge unit frames from training examples. Some training examples can be obtained by automatica...

The objective of this thesis is to design and develop a knowledge base model to support the maintenance system structure. The aim of this model is to identify the failure modes which are the heart of maintenance system through the functional analysis and then serves as a decision support system to define the maintenance tasks and finally to implement a preventive maintenance task. This knowledg...

Creativity and knowledge are closely linked. Recent research into the relations between them highlights social and organisational aspects. However, creativity seems difficult for ordering, and creative processes often involve people with different knowledge bases, requiring the integration of different types of knowledge. While the management of creativity in organisations is seen as a complex ...

The management of the integrity of intelligent systems relies on techniques to integrate the components and to manage the integrity of the knowledge-based systems components. A unified methodology integrates knowledge-based systems components with database components. Constraints are used to manage the integrity of knowledge. One class of knowledge constraints protect the integrity of knowledge...

Wikidata, like Wikipedia, is a knowledge base that anyone can edit. This open collaboration model is powerful in that it reduces barriers to participation and allows a large number of people to contribute. However, it exposes the knowledge base to the risk of vandalism and low-quality contributions. In this work, we build on past work detecting vandalism in Wikipedia to detect vandalism in Wiki...

Software systems are often highly structured, consisting of artifacts: types, methods, variables, and packages; and relationships between these artifacts. Domain and meta models, and software design documentation provide additional artifacts such as roles, associations, use cases, and paragraphs of text. This paper outlines a tool for software structure understanding. The tool consists of a kno...
