  1. Semantic Understanding An Approach Based on Information-Extraction Ontologies David W. Embley Brigham Young University

  2. Presentation Outline • Grand Challenge • Meaning, Knowledge, Information, Data • Fun and Games with Data • Information Extraction Ontologies • Applications • Limitations and Pragmatics • Summary and Challenges

  3. Can we quantify & specify the nature of this grand challenge? Grand Challenge Semantic Understanding

  4. Grand Challenge Semantic Understanding “If ever there were a technology that could generate trillions of dollars in savings worldwide …, it would be the technology that makes business information systems interoperable.” (Jeffrey T. Pollock, VP of Technology Strategy, Modulant Solutions)

  5. Grand Challenge Semantic Understanding “The Semantic Web: … content that is meaningful to computers [and that] will unleash a revolution of new possibilities … Properly designed, the Semantic Web can assist the evolution of human knowledge …” (Tim Berners-Lee, …, Weaving the Web)

  6. Grand Challenge Semantic Understanding “20th Century: Data Processing “21st Century: Data Exchange “The issue now is mutual understanding.” (Stefano Spaccapietra, Editor in Chief, Journal on Data Semantics)

  7. Grand Challenge Semantic Understanding “The Grand Challenge [of semantic understanding] has become mission critical. Current solutions … won’t scale. Businesses need economic growth dependent on the web working and scaling (cost: $1 trillion/year).” (Michael Brodie, Chief Scientist, Verizon Communications)

  8. What is Semantic Understanding? Semantics: “The meaning or the interpretation of a word, sentence, or other language form.” Understanding: “To grasp or comprehend [what’s] intended or expressed.’’ - Dictionary.com

  9. Can We Achieve Semantic Understanding? “A computer doesn’t truly ‘understand’ anything.” … But computers can manipulate terms “in ways that are useful and meaningful to the human user.” - Tim Berners-Lee Key Point: it only has to be good enough. And that’s our challenge and our opportunity!

  11. Meaning • Knowledge • Information • Data Information Value Chain Translating data into meaning

  12. Foundational Definitions • Meaning: knowledge that is relevant or activates • Knowledge: information with a degree of certainty or community agreement • Information: data in a conceptual framework • Data: attribute-value pairs - Adapted from [Meadow92]

  13. Foundational Definitions • Meaning: knowledge that is relevant or activates • Knowledge: information with a degree of certainty or community agreement (ontology) • Information: data in a conceptual framework • Data: attribute-value pairs - Adapted from [Meadow92]

  14. Foundational Definitions • Meaning: knowledge that is relevant or activates • Knowledge: information with a degree of certainty or community agreement (ontology) • Information: data in a conceptual framework • Data: attribute-value pairs - Adapted from [Meadow92]

  15. Foundational Definitions • Meaning: knowledge that is relevant or activates • Knowledge: information with a degree of certainty or community agreement (ontology) • Information: data in a conceptual framework • Data: attribute-value pairs - Adapted from [Meadow92]

  16. Data • Attribute-Value Pairs • Fundamental for information • Thus, fundamental for knowledge & meaning

  17. Data • Attribute-Value Pairs • Fundamental for information • Thus, fundamental for knowledge & meaning • Data Frame • Extensive knowledge about a data item • Everyday data: currency, dates, time, weights & measures • Textual appearance, units, context, operators, I/O conversion • Abstract data type with an extended framework

  45. What is an Extraction Ontology? • Augmented Conceptual-Model Instance • Object & relationship sets • Constraints • Data frame value recognizers • Robust Wrapper (Ontology-Based Wrapper) • Extracts information • Works even when site changes or when new sites come on-line
