  4. Semantic Web Methodology and Technology Development Process Establish and improve a well-defined methodology vision for Semantic Technology based application development Leverage controlled vocabularies, et c. Adopt Technology Approach Leverage Technology Infrastructure Science/Expert Review & Iteration Rapid Prototype Open World: Evolve, Iterate, Redesign, Redeploy Use Tools Analysis Use Case Develop model/ ontology Small Team, mixed skills 4

  5. Semantic Web Layers 5 http://www.w3.org/2003/Talks/1023-iswc-tbl/slide26-0.html, http://flickr.com/photos/pshab/291147522/

  6. Languages • OWL • RDFS • SKOS • RIF • SPARQL • OWL-S

  7. RDFS • Note: XMLS not an ontology language • Changes format of DTDs (document schemas) to be XML • Adds an extensible type hierarchy • Integers, Strings, etc. • Can define sub-types, e.g., positive integers • RDFS is recognisable as an ontology language • Classes and properties • Sub/super-classes (and properties) • Range and domain (of properties)

  8. However • RDFS too weak to describe resources in sufficient detail • No localized range and domain constraints • Can’t say that the range of hasChild is person when applied to persons and elephant when applied to elephants • No existence/cardinality constraints • Can’t say that all instances of person have a mother that is also a person, or that persons have exactly 2 parents • No transitive, inverse or symmetrical properties • Can’t say that isPartOf is a transitive property, that hasPart is the inverse of isPartOf or that touches is symmetrical • … • Difficult to provide reasoning support • No “native” reasoners for non-standard semantics • May be possible to reason via First Order axiomatisation

  9. OWL requirements Desirable features identified for Web Ontology Language: • Extends existing Web standards • Such as XML, RDF, RDFS • Easy to understand and use • Should be based on familiar KR idioms • Formally specified • Of “adequate” expressive power • Possible to provide automated reasoning support

  10. The OWL language: • Three species of OWL • OWL full is union of OWL syntax and RDF • OWL DL restricted to FOL fragment (¼ DAML+OIL) • OWL Lite is “easier to implement” subset of OWL DL • Semantic layering • OWL DL ¼ OWL full within DL fragment • DL semantics officially definitive • OWL DL based on SHIQDescription Logic • In fact it is equivalent to SHOIN(Dn) DL • OWL DL Benefits from many years of DL research • Well defined semantics • Formal properties well understood (complexity, decidability) • Known reasoning algorithms • Implemented systems (highly optimized)

  11. OWL Class Constructors

  12. OWL axioms

  13. SKOS properties • skos:note e.g. ‘Anything goes.’ • skos:definition e.g. ‘A long curved fruit with a yellow skin and soft, sweet white flesh inside.’ • skos:example e.g. ‘A bunch of bananas.’ • skos:scopeNote e.g. ‘Historically members of a sheriff's retinue armed with pikes who escorted judges at assizes.’ • skos:historyNote e.g. ‘Deleted 1986. See now Detention, Institutionalization (Persons), or Hospitalization.’ • skos:editorialNote e.g. ‘Confer with Mr. X. re deletion.’ • skos:changeNote e.g. ‘Promoted “love” to preferred label, demoted “affection” to alternative label, Joe Bloggs, 2005-08-09.’

  14. SKOS core and RDFS/OWL • Disjoint? • Should skos:Concept be disjoint with … • rdf:Property ? • rdfs:Class ? • owl:Class ? • DL? • Should SKOS Core be an OWL DL ontology? • Means not allowing flexibility in range of documentation props • It is now (2008)!

  15. OWL 2 http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/wiki/OWL_Working_Group http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/wiki/Image:Owl2-refcard_2008-09-24.pdf

  16. Query • Querying knowledge representations in OWL and/or RDF • OWL-QL (for OWL) http://projects.semwebcentral.org/projects/owl-ql/ • SPARQL for RDF http://www.sparql.org/ and http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-query/ • Now a W3C Candidate Recommendation 14 June 2007! • XQUERY (for XML) • SeRQL (for SeSAME) • RDFQuery (RDF) • Few as yet for natural language representations (ROO – Dolbear, et al., …)

  17. SPARQL (Greg)

  26. Services • Ontologies of services, provides: • What does the service provide for prospective clients? The answer to this question is given in the "profile," which is used to advertise the service. To capture this perspective, each instance of the class Service presents a ServiceProfile. • How is it used? The answer to this question is given in the "process model." This perspective is captured by the ServiceModel class. Instances of the class Service use the property describedBy to refer to the service's ServiceModel. • How does one interact with it? The answer to this question is given in the "grounding." A grounding provides the needed details about transport protocols. Instances of the class Service have a supports property referring to a ServiceGrounding.

  27. Services, not standard… • Now 4 submissions to W3C • OWL-S - http://www.w3.org/Submission/OWL-S (updated journal publication - http://springerlink.com/content/wp8q2133g5725340/ ) • SWSO/F/L - Semantic Web Services Ontology/Framework/Language - http://www.w3.org/Submission/SWSF/ • WSMO/X/L - Web Services Modeling Ontology/Exection/Language - http://www.w3.org/Submission/WSMX/www.wsmo.org, www.wsmx.org • SAWSDL - (WSDL-S)

  28. Explanation, Proof (path to Trust) • Proof markup language (PML) • an interlingua representation for justifications of results produced by Semantic Web services • Not W3C, but no competition • Implemented in InferenceWeb (http://iw.stanford.edu) • CWM and N3 and theorem provers - not yet adapted to OWL-based languages

  29. Integrated Semantically-Enabled Agents

  30. KSL Wine Agent – Semantic Interoperability • Wine Agent receives a meal description and retrieves a selection of matching wines available on the Web, using an ensemble of standards and tools • OWL for representing a domain ontology of foods, wines, their properties, and relationships between them • JTP theorem prover for deriving appropriate pairings • OWL-QL for querying a knowledge base • Inference Web for explaining and validating the response • Web Services for interfacing with vendors • Utilities for conducting and caching the above transactions

  31. Wine Agent Processing Given a description of a meal • Use OWL-QL/DQL to state a premise (the meal) and query the knowledge base for a suggestion for a wine description or set of instances • Use JTP to deduce answers (and proofs) • Use Inference Web to explain results (descriptions, instances, provenance, reasoning engines, etc.) • Access relevant web sites (wine.com, …) to access current information • Use OWL-S for markup and protocol*

  32. Results <rdfs:Class rdf:ID="BLAND-FISH-COURSE"> <daml:intersectionOf rdf:parseType="daml:collection"> <rdfs:Class rdf:about="#MEAL-COURSE"/> <daml:Restriction> <daml:onProperty rdf:resource="#FOOD"/> <daml:toClass rdf:resource="#BLAND-FISH"/> </daml:Restriction> </daml:intersectionOf> <rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource="#DRINK-HAS-DELICATE-FLAVOR-RESTRICTION"/> </rdfs:Class> <rdfs:Class rdf:ID="BLAND-FISH"> <rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource="#FISH"/> <daml:disjointWith rdf:resource="#NON-BLAND-FISH"/> </rdfs:Class> <rdf:Description rdf:ID="FLOUNDER"> <rdf:type rdf:resource="#BLAND-FISH"/> </rdf:Description> <rdfs:Class rdf:ID="CHARDONNAY"> <rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource="#WHITE-COLOR-RESTRICTION"/> <rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource="#MEDIUM-OR-FULL-BODY-RESTRICTION"/> <rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource="#MODERATE-OR-STRONG-FLAVOR-RESTRICTION"/> […] </rdfs:Class> <rdf:Description rdf:ID="BANCROFT-CHARDONNAY"> <rdf:type rdf:resource="#CHARDONNAY"/> <REGION rdf:resource="#NAPA"/> <MAKER rdf:resource="#BANCROFT"/> <SUGAR rdf:resource="#DRY"/> […] </rdf:Description>

  33. Querying Multiple Online Sources

  34. TW Wine Agent – Semantic Interoperability RDF and OWL used for encoding wine/food listings and pairing recommendations Semantic MediaWiki for publishing user-contributed recommendations Pellet used for deriving knowledge using wine ontology and recommendations SPARQL used for querying wine/food listings with recommendations Inference Web for explaining TW Wine Agent’s intelligent behavior Wine Agent receives a meal description and retrieves a selection of matching wines available on the Web, using an ensemble of standards and tools

  35. Social Semantic Web Data Publishing Collaborative wine recommendations Using Semantic MediaWiki to manage users and user-contributed food/wine pairings recommendations Using semantic form to add OWL instance data

  36. Semantic Query:Food Hierarchy and Recommendation

  37. Wine Agent Processing Given a description of a meal • Combine wine ontology and the OWL data published at Wiki • Use Pellet and SPARQL to state a premise (the meal) and query the knowledge base for a suggestion for a wine description or a set of wine instances • Use Inference Web to explain results (descriptions, instances, provenance, reasoning engines, etc.)

  38. Observations from the Wine Agent Background knowledge is reasonably simple and built in OWL (includes food, wine and pairing information similar to the OWL Guide, Ontology Engineering 101, CLASSIC Tutorial, …) Background knowledge can be used for simple query expansion over wine sources to retrieve for example documents about red wines (including zinfandel, syrah, …) Background knowledge used to interact with structured queries such as those possible on wine.com Constraints allows a reasoner like Pellet to infer consequences of the premises and query. Explanation system (Inference Web) can provide provenance information such as information on the knowledge source (McGuinness’ wine ontology) and data sources (such as wine.com) Services work could allow automatic “matchmaking” instead of hand coded linkages with web resources
