In addition, ontologies deliver precious input to text mining techniques in the biomedical domain, which might improve the performance in different text mining tasks. This chapter will explore on the mutual benefits for ontologies and text mining techniques. Ontology development is a time consuming task. Most efforts are spent in the acquisition of terms that represent concepts in real life. This process can use the existing scientific literature and the World Wide Web. The identification of concept labels, i.e. terms, from these sources using text mining solutions improves ontology development since the literature resources make reference to existing terms and concepts. Furthermore, automatic text processing techniques profit from ontological resources in different tasks, for example in the disambiguation of terms and the enrichment of terminological resources for the text mining solution. One of the most important text mining tasks that exploits ontological resources consists of the mapping of concepts to terms in textual sources (e.g. named entity recognition, semantic indexing) and the expansion of queries in information retrieval.

Versions of temporal data are kept along one or two time dimensions: valid time and transaction time (Jensen et al., 1998). The valid time concerns the time of the modelled real world and denotes the time a fact was, or will be true, whereas the transaction time is the one of the system and concerns the one during which the fact was or is current in the database as a stored data.

It addresses the problem of atypical entities in ontologies. The authors propose a new model of knowledge representation by combining ontologies and topology. In order to represent atypical entities in ontologies, the four topological operators of interior, exterior, border and closure are introduced. These operators allow to specify whether an entity, belonging to a class, is typical or not. The authors define a system of topological inclusion and membership relations into the ontology formalism, by adapting the four topological operators with the help of their mathematical properties. These properties are used as a set of axioms which allows to define the topological inclusion and membership relations. Further, the authors define combinations of the operators of interior, exterior, border and closure that allow the construction of an algebra. They model is implemented in AnsProlog, a recent logic programming language that allows negative predicates in inference rules.","PeriodicalId":169003,"journal":{"name":"Ontology Theory, Management and Design","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129740548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Now, Service-oriented computing is emergi ng as a new and promising paradigm. However, selection and composition of Services to a chieve an expected goal remain purely manual and time consuming tasks. Basing our approac h n domain concept definitions thanks to an Ontology, we develop here an algebraic approach that enables to express formal definitions of Web Service semantics as well as user information n eeds. Both are captured by the means of algebraic expressions of ontology properties. We pr esent an algorithm that generates efficient orchestration plans, with characteristics of optima l ty regarding Quality of Service. The approach has been validated by a prototype and an evaluation in the case of an Health Information System. INTRODUCTION The number of available Web data sources and servic es has exploded during the last years. This enables users to access rich information in many do mains such as health, life sciences, law, geography, and many other domain of interest. Thank s to this wealth, users rely more on various digital tasks such as data retrieval from both publ ic and corporate data sources and data analysis with Web tools or services organized in complex wor kfl ws [Gao, 2005, Kinsi,2007]. However, human users have to spend uncountable hours to expl r and discover Web resources that meet their requirements. In addition, in many cases, use rs n ed to compose a specific set of Web resources in order to fulfill a complex question. T his situation is mainly due to the inability of present standards in capturing Web Service semantic s, i.e. the precise meaning of what a given Web Service exactly delivers regarding a specific u ser context. Meanwhile, Service-oriented computing (SoC) is emer ging as a new and promising computing paradigm that centers on the notion of service as t he fundamental element for accessing heterogeneous, rich and distributed resources in an teroperable way [Roman, 2005]. Web services are self-describing components that support a rapid and significant reuse of distributed applications. They are offered by service providers , which procure service implementation and maintenance, and supply service descriptions. Servi ce descriptions are used to advertise service capabilities, behavior, Quality of Service, etc. (U DDI, WSDL, OWL-S). Service descriptions are meant to be used by other applications (and possibl y other services), and not only by humans. WSDL and UDDI are the basic standards used for Web Service capabilities descriptions and advertising. However, they focus on the description of interfaces and syntactic considerations. So, at present, the development of powerful applica tions on the Web is still facing two major problems. The first one is related to the increasin g difficulties of identifying services that","PeriodicalId":169003,"journal":{"name":"Ontology Theory, Management and Design","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131237315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A semantic association (SA) is a set of relationships between two entities in knowledge base represented as graph paths consisting of a sequence of links. Because the number of relationships between entities in a knowledge base might be much greater than the number of entities, it is recommended to develop tools and invent methods to discover new unexpected links and relevant semantic associations in the large store of the preliminary extracted semantic association. Semantic association mining is a rapidly growing field of research, which studies these issues in order to create efficient methods and tools to help us filter the overwhelming flow of information and extract the knowledge that reflect the user need. The authors present, in this work, an approach which allows the extraction of association rules (SWARM: Semantic Web Association Rule Mining) from a structured semantic association store. Then, present a new method which allows the discovery of relevant semantic associations between a preliminary extracted SA and predefined features, specified by user, with the use of Hyperclique Pattern (HP) approach. In addition, the authors present an approach which allows the extraction of hidden entities in knowledge base. The experimental results applied to synthetic and real world data show the benefit of the proposed methods and demonstrate their promising effectiveness.

They survey the techniques of large scale matching, when a large number of schemas/ontologies and attributes are involved. They attempt to cover a variety of techniques for schema matching called Pair-wise and Holistic, as well as a set of useful optimization techniques. They compare the different existing schema/ontology matching tools. One can acknowledge that this domain is on top of effervescence and large scale matching needs many more advances.
