Provenance Querying for End-Users: A Drug Resistance Case Study
[chapter]
2008
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We also describe the process of ontology-based query construction and evaluation. ...
This model enables query construction in an end-user oriented manner, i.e. by using terms of the scientific domain familiar to researchers, instead of complex query languages. ...
Ontologies as a model for provenance proved to be an adequate inter-lingua between: (1) end users who use ontologies as a query language while interacting with a graphical user interface; (2) query tools ...

How Ontology Can be Used to Improve Semantic Information Retrieval: The AnimSe Finder Tool
2011
International Journal of Computer Applications
This ontology is used at two different stages: First, for the semantic indexing of documents, in this stage the representative concepts of each document are selected by a projection of the ontology on ...
In this paper, we propose a new approach for locating and retrieving documents; the search process is guided by the 'AnimOnto' domain ontology that we have constructed for this purpose. ...
It takes as input a set of 25 queries posed by users in natural language. ...

Ontology Based Natural Language Queries Transformation into SPARQL Queries
2020
Baltic Journal of Modern Computing
In the OBDA scheme, normally formal query languages, such as SPARQL, are used to represent the user questions, which limits end users from defining their requests. ...
The proposed approach makes use of the capabilities of natural language processing and the semantic information embedded in the domain ontology. ...
Proposed translator evaluation To test and evaluate the proposed tool, we will start with simple queries as a test for the prototype. ...

SPARQL Query Builders: Overview and Comparison
2016
Business Informatics Research
The SPARQL query language has been proposed as a simple language for querying graph-structured data on the Semantic Web. However, users have to write queries that must conform to the SPARQL syntax. ...
This requirement might be alleviated using a SPARQL query builder that suggests relevant parts of the query. But, up to now, only a few basic comparisons of such tools exist. ...
The work has been partially supported by the Government of Russian Federation, Grant 074-U01. ...

Ontology-based end-user visual query formulation: Why, what, who, how, and which?
2016
Universal Access in the Information Society
An ontology is more promising than the logical schema of the underlying data for guiding users in formulating queries, since it provides a richer vocabulary closer to the users' understanding. ...
This article presents and argues for ontology-based visual query formulation for end users; discusses its feasibility in terms of ontology-based data access, which virtualises legacy relational databases ...
That is, a) a visual query formulation tool should primarily span the types of information needs and ontology constructs needed by users in their context; and b) the inclusion criteria should be the user ...

Techniques of Ontology and its Usage in Indian Languages - A Review
2015
International Journal of Computer Applications
It is hereby concluded from the review that in Indian languages usage of ontology is very less because of the challenges to build ontology for minority languages. ...
This paper review has been carried out/done on the usage of different ontology building approaches in natural language processing and their usage on Indian languages. ...
The result shows that users can solve each query faster when using OntoGraf as compare to two other tools such as OWL 2 Query and DL query. ...

A Systematic RDF-based Approach for Structuring Government Open Data to Enhance Accessibility
2018
International Journal of Computer Applications
Software evaluation metrics (precision, recall, and f-measure) for retrieval systems was employed as the evaluation approach. ...
This paper details the systematic steps followed from data selection to the development of an ontology and user interfacing modes of access using a case study of the Kenyan government open data portal. ...
For instance, with NLP, a sentence such as "projects in Nairobi county with title construction can be used to construct a query. ...

Design and Development of an Ontology based Personal Web Search Engine
2012
Procedia Technology - Elsevier
This search engine is evaluated by getting feedback from three kinds of users. The results show that this ontology model is successful. ...
As a model for knowledge description and formalization, ontologies are widely used to represent user profiles in personalized web information gathering. ...

types of knowledge and the middleware layer is implemented as an extended search engine carrying out all necessary communications between the tools and the repositories. ...
Some implementation issues are discussed and a preliminary evaluation of the environment based on an exploitation is presented. ...
As an addition the Designer also generates a naturallanguage like representation for each query constructed by the user that facilitates understanding and checking the meaning of the query. ...

OntoDas – a tool for facilitating the construction of complex queries to the Gene Ontology
2008
BMC Bioinformatics
Ontologies such as the Gene Ontology can enable the construction of complex queries over biological information in a conceptual way, however existing systems to do this are too technical. ...
Results: OntoDas is a web-based tool that uses information visualisation techniques to provide an intuitive, interactive environment for constructing ontology-based queries against the Gene Ontology Database ...

NITELIGHT: A Graphical Editor for SPARQL Queries
2008
International Semantic Web Conference
A number of query languages, such as SPARQL, have been developed for the Semantic Web; however, there are, as yet, few tools to support end users with respect to the creation and editing of semantic queries ...
In this paper we present NITELIGHT, a graphical tool for semantic query design. ...
It also enables users to drag and drop ontology elements onto the Query Design Canvas as part of the query construction process. ...

Position paper
2006
Proceedings of the 15th international conference on World Wide Web - WWW '06
One of the main hurdles towards a wide endorsement of ontologies is the high cost of constructing them. ...
This paper presents a fresh view on constructing ontologies automatically, by identifying, ranking, and merging fragments of online ontologies. ...
The purpose here is to avoid reinventing the wheel by provide users with a tool to help them gather and learn from existing domain knowledge representations, thus bootstrapping their ontology construction ...
