How to Approximate Ontology-Mediated Queries
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
We introduce and study several notions of approximation for ontology-mediated queries based on the description logics ALC and ALCI. ...
Our approximations are of two kinds: we may (1) replace the ontology with one formulated in a tractable ontology language such as ELI or certain TGDs and (2) replace the database with one from a tractable ...
Introduction Ontology-mediated querying enriches database queries by an ontology, in this way providing domain knowledge and extending the language available for formulating queries. ...

TrOWL: Tractable OWL 2 Reasoning Infrastructure
[chapter]
2010
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We present the TrOWL infrastructure for transforming, reasoning, and querying OWL2 ontologies which uses novel techniques such as Quality Guaranteed Approximations and Forgetting to achieve this goal. ...
Tools exist to reason over these ontologies and to answer queries over them, but there are no large scale infrastructures for storing, reasoning, and querying ontologies on a scale that would be useful ...
We would also like to thank Stuart Taylor, Nophadol Jekjantuk and Yuting Zhao at the University of Aberdeen for their helpful discussion and other contributions. ...

Ontology-based data integration methods: a framework for comparison
2005
Revista Colombiana de Computación
An important feature is that all of them use, in some way, ontologies as the way to solve problems about semantic heterogeneity. ...
Keywords: Data Integration, Ontology, Semantic Heterogeneity. ...
Users formulate queries over the ontology of the mediator and it is the task of the mediator to choose the sources to be queried, and the query to be sent to each source. ...

Query Rewriting or Ontology Modification? Toward a Faster Approximate Reasoning on LOD Endpoints
2017
IEICE transactions on information and systems
We employ an evolutionary approach to make such rewriting and modification of queries and ontologies based on the past-processed queries and their results. ...
In this paper, for reducing query execution time on an inference-enabled LOD endpoint, we compare these two promising methods: query rewriting and ontology modification, as well as trying to combine them ...
We presented that how a combination of query approximation and ontology modification could be effectively applied and how aggregating results on a cluster improved the runtime performance as well as the ...

The KRAFT Architecture for Knowledge Fusion and Transformation
[chapter]
2000
Research and Development in Intelligent Systems XVI
The architecture uses constraints as a common knowledge interchange format, expressed against a common ontology. ...
The fused knowledge is then used to solve some problem or deliver some information to a user. Problem-solving in KRAFT typically exploits pre-existing constraint solvers. ...
We would like to thank Mike Shave and Jean-Christophe Pazzaglia for their comments on an earlier draft of this paper. ...

Configuring Intelligent Mediators Using Ontologies
[chapter]
2006
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
This paper presents a new intelligent mediators configuration approach which exploits high expressive description logics to represent metadata, and reasoning tasks in order to build more flexible mediation ...
A configured mediator can therefore be adapted in order to build knowledge-based mediation systems with an arbitrary architecture. ...
Moreover, the knowlege-based query processing allows to enable approximative as well as partial query plans generation. ...

Towards a Semantic Integration of Medical Relational Databases by Using Ontologies: A Case Study
[chapter]
2003
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We will demonstrate how this can be done by means of a case study, and how the coupling result can be deployed to query a relational database at the ontology level. ...
Next to that, we will introduce a coupling language, and a discussion on how to integrate the language in two ontology models. ...
We also want to thank Pieter De Leenheer for providing valuable feedback on an earlier version of this report. ...

Towards a Mediator Based on OWL and SPARQL
[chapter]

Lecture Notes in Computer Science
SPARQL queries submitted to the Mediator are decomposed and reformulated to SPARQL queries to the federated sites. The evaluated results return to the Mediator. ...
The Mediator supports mappings between the OWL Ontology of the Mediator and the other ontologies in the federated sites. ...
SPARQL [3] queries over the Mediator are decomposed and reformulated to be submitted over the federated sites. The SPARQL queries are locally evaluated and the results return to the Mediator site. ...

Managing scientific data: From data integration to scientific workflows*
[chapter]
2006
Special Paper 397: Geoinformatics: Data to Knowledge
The core idea of semantic mediation is to augment database mediators and query evaluation algorithms with appropriate knowledge-representation techniques to exploit information from shared ontologies. ...
Semantic mediation relies on semantic data registration, which associates existing data with semantic information from an ontology. ...
Data Integration In this section we first introduce the mediator approach to data integration and then show how it can be extended to a semantic mediation approach by incorporating ontologies as a knowledge ...

Digital Libraries - Methods and Applications
In mediation systems (Wiederhold, 1992) , data remains at the sources and queries to the integrated system need to be translated, at run time, into a sequence of sub-queries to the underlying data sources ...
To deal with the interoperability problem, two solutions can be used: warehousing and mediation systems. ...
In mediation systems, the cost of a plan may be approximated by the sum of communication cost, source query processing costs and mediator processing cost, as expressed in formula 4. _ _ _ (4) Furthermore ...
