A Controlled Natural Language Interface for Semantic Media Wiki
Bao, Jie; Smart, Paul; Braines, Dave; Jones, Gareth (2009-01-01)Despite their potential value as collaborative knowledge editing systems, semantic wikis present a number of usability challenges for human end users. In particular, there are several mismatches between the simple user ... -
A Distributed Tableau Algorithm for Package-based Description Logics
Bao, Jie; Caragea, Doina; Honavar, Vasant (2006-08-29)Package-based Description Logics (P-DL) is a novel formalism for modular ontologies. In P-DL, an ontology is composed of a collection of modules called packages. A package can partially reuse knowledge in other packages ... -
A General Strategy for Knowledge Acquisition from Semantically Heterogeneous Data Sources
Caragea, Doina; Bao, Jie; Honavar, Vasant (2006-10-26)With the advent of the Semantic Web, there is increased availability of meta data (ontologies) that make explicit the semantic commitments associated with the data sources. Together with tools for specifying mappings between ... -
A Survey of Ontology Modularization Formalisms
Wang, Yimin; Haase, Peter; Bao, Jie (2007-01-01)In this paper, we investigate state-of-the-art technologies in the area of modular ontologies and corresponding logical formalisms. We compare the strengths and weaknesses of different formalisms for modular ontologies in ... -
A Tool for Collaborative Construction of Large Biological Ontologies
Bao, Jie; Hu, Zhiliang; Caragea, Doina; Reecy, James; Honavar, Vasant (2006-09-08)In order for ontologies to be broadly useful to the scientific community, they need to capture knowledge and expertise of multiple experts and research groups. Consequently, the construction of such ontologies necessarily ... -
A Visual Approach to Semantic Query Design Using a Web-Based Graphical Query Designer
Smart, Paul; Russell, Alistair; Braines, Dave; Kalfoglou, Yannis; Bao, Jie; Shadbolt, Nigel (2008-01-01)Query formulation is a key aspect of information retrieval, contributing to both the efficiency and usability of many semantic applications. A number of query languages, such as SPARQL, have been developed for the Semantic ... -
Adapt OWL as a Modular Ontology Language
Bao, Jie; Honavar, Vasant (2006-11-11)OWL, the most commonly used web ontology language, has limited provision for handling modular ontologies. Specifically, the owl:imports construct for linking ontology modules lacks support for partial reuse of or localized ... -
Algorithms and Software for Collaborative Discovery from Autonomous, Semantically Heterogeneous, Distributed Information Sources
Caragea, Doina; Zhang, Jun; Bao, Jie; Pathak, Jyotishman; Honavar, Vasant (2005-10-11)Development of high throughput data acquisition technologies, together with advances in computing, and communications have resulted in an explosive growth in the number, size, and diversity of potentially useful information ... -
Analyzing the AIR Language: A Semantic Web (Production) Rules Language
Hendler, James A.; Khandelwal, Ankesh; Bao, Jie; Kagal, Lalana; Jacobi, Ian; Ding, Li (2010-01-01)The Accountability In RDF (AIR) language is an N3-based, Semantic Web production rule language that supports nested activation of rules, negation, closed world reasoning, scoped contextualized reasoning, and explanation ... -
Characterizing and Detecting Integrity Issues in OWL Instance Data
Tao, Jiao; Ding, Li; Bao, Jie; McGuinness, Deborah L. (2008-10-26)We view OWL instance data evaluation as a process in which instance data is checked for conformance with application requirements. We previously identified some integrity issues raised by applications demanding closed world ... -
Collaborative ontology building with wikiOnt - a multi-agent based ontology building environment
Bao, Jie; Honavar, Vasant (2004-11-08)Collaborative ontology building requires both knowledge integration and knowledge reconciliation. Wiki@nt is an ontology building environment that supports collaborative ontology development. Wiki@nt is based on OSHOQP(D), ... -
Collaborative Package-based Ontology Building and Usage
Bao, Jie; Honavar, Vasant (2005-11-27)With the increased complexity of ontologies, building and using large-scale ontologies require cooperative and scalable mechanisms. In this paper, we propose a modular ontology approach for such challenge. A large ontology ... -
Collective Cognition with Semantic Mediawiki: Lessons and Experiences
Bao, Jie; Ding, Li; Hendler, James A. (2009-09-22)Web-based tools have fundamentally revolutionized the ways of knowledge acquisition, propagation, aggregation, understanding, and analysis. This is exemplified by Wikipedia, one of the most successful Web tools that support ... -
Context Representation for the Semantic Web
Bao, Jie; Tao, Jiao; McGuinness, Deborah L.; Smart, Paul (2010-01-01)The unambiguous and effective delivery of data and knowledge on the Web relies heavily on the correct representation and understanding of the associated contexts. However, the current way of encoding data and knowledge on ... -
Contextualized RDF Importing
Bao, Jie; Ding, Li; McGuinness, Deborah L. (2010-06-26)RDF is a key enabling technology for linked data. However, currently RDF lacks a mechanism to connect data from different documents as well to address the contextual differences in these documents. We propose to introduce ... -
Developing Frameworks and Tools for Animal Trait Ontology (ATO)
Hu, Zhiliang; Bao, Jie; Rothschild, Max; Honavar, Vasant; Reecy, James (2006-01-01) -
Development of a Controlled Natural Language Interface for Semantic MediaWiki
Smart, Paul; Bao, Jie; Braines, Dave; Shadbolt, Nigel (2010-07-09)Semantic wikis support the collaborative creation, editing and utiliza- tion of semantically-enriched content, and they may therefore be well-suited to addressing problems associated with the limited availability of ... -
