| Popis: | The OWL Enhance prototype has been developed to augment ontologies implemented using the Web Ontology Language (OWL) with richer relation semantics. This prototype interactively elicits knowledge from providers to describe the intrinsic nature of relations and appends these elicited semantics to definitions of relations in OWL ontologies. Benefits from the explicit specification of the intrinsic nature of relations in ontologies include the development of quantitative techniques for the estimation of similarities among relations and attribute exploration techniques to create relation taxonomies. Examples of these techniques have been implemented in modules of the OWL Enhance prototype to demonstrate the utility of explicit relation semantics. Results from testing these modules on high-level and domain-specific ontologies are presented and analyzed with respect to the potential use of relation semantics to increase the fidelity of knowledge representation, as well as the potential for reuse and interoperability of knowledge on the Semantic Web. |
