  2. Key Points Regarding Flu Epidemics • Wash your hands often, especially after shaking hands with others (use hand disinfectants if there is no access to soap and water). • Avoid close contact with people who are sick • Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. If you don't have a tissue, use the inside of your elbow. • Do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth, especially after contact with shared keyboards, microscopes, instruments, or other people. • STAY HOME-If you have flu-like symptoms (i.e., fever (100 degrees F [37.8 decrees C] or higher, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills, fatigue). • For more information http://www.rpi.edu/about/flu/ .

  7. Languages • RDFS – Resource Description Framework Schema • OWL – Web Ontology Language OWL • SKOS – Simple Knowledge Organization System • RIF – Rule Interchange Framework • SPARQL- SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language • OWL-S – OWL for Services

  8. 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)

  9. 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

  10. 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

  11. 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)

  12. OWL Class Constructors

  13. OWL axioms

  14. See http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-features/ section 2 for features and relation to RDF or OWL species

  15. OWL 2 http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/wiki/OWL_Working_Group Now a proposed recommendation (as of September 22, 2009)

  16. W3C OWL 2 User Documents Document Overview – http://www.w3.org/TR/owl2-overview/ The place to start – light introduction to OWL 2 and its relationship to OWL New Features and Rationale More details of the new features in OWL 2 along with their motivations http://www.w3.org/TR/owl2-new-features/ Primer An introduction to OWL using a running example http://www.w3.org/TR/owl2-primer/ Next generation of the OWL 1 Guide Quick Reference A brief synopsis of the features of OWL along with links into relevant documents (both to user and specification documents) http://www.w3.org/TR/owl2-quick-reference/ Next generation of a portion of the OWL 1 Overview combined with UMBC’s quick reference card Meetings: ISWC, OWLED, ESWC, Web Science, DL, Protégé, … 16

  17. Why Some Users May Care about OWL 2 Datatype support: Many applications need more datatype support including things such as numerical comparisons (e.g., VSTO, SWEET, etc.) Selected additional expressive power: Different applications may need or benefit from features such as qualified cardinality. More support for annotations (e.g., for more support for knowledge provenance ) Definition and support for profiles McGuinness – SemTech June 16, 2009 17

  18. OWL 2 Extends OWL with a small set of features That are motivated from application usage For which semantics and reasoning techniques are well understood That tool builders are willing and able to support Is fully backwards compatible with OWL: Every OWL ontology is a valid OWL 2 ontology Every OWL 2 ontology not using new features is a valid OWL ontology OWL Lite & OWL DL are both sublanguages of OWL 2, along with the new profiles (EL, QL, RL) Already supported by popular OWL tools & infrastructure: Protégé, Pellet, FaCT++, OWL API

  19. New Features: Expressiveness qualified cardinality restrictions, e.g.: ObjectMinCardinality(2 friendOf hacker) property chains, e.g.: SubObjectPropertyOf(SubObjectPropertyChain(parent brother) uncle) local reflexivity restrictions, e.g.: ObjectExistsSelf(likes) [for narcissists] reflexive, irreflexive, symmetric, and antisymmetric properties, e.g.: ReflexiveObjectProperty(knows); IrreflexiveObjectProperty(husbandOf) flowsInto rdf:type owl:IrreflexiveProperty. Nothing can flow into itself. disjoint properties, e.g.: DisjointObjectProperties(childOf spouseOf) keys, e.g.: HasKey( US-Citizen () ( a:hasSSN ) )

  20. New features: MetaModelling Restricted form of metamodelling via “punning”, e.g. subClassOf(SnowLeopard BigCat) ClassAssertion(SnowLeopard EndangeredSpecies) Annotations of axioms as well as entities, e.g.: ClassAssertion(Comment(“source: WWF”) SnowLeopard EndangeredSpecies) Including annotations of annotations Punning allowed in OWL 2 but OWL 2 DL still imposes: Name cannot be used for both class and datatype Name can only be used for one type of property

  21. Annotations •Annotation Assertion – Construct for annotation of ontology entities and anonymous individuals • Annotation – Construct for annotation of axioms and ontologies(even annotations themselves) • Annotations about annotation properties – SubAnnotationPropertyOf • Syntax example: :narrow_synonymrdfs:subPropertyOf:synonym. (UC#5) – The annotation property :narrow synonym is a subproperty of :synonym. – AnnotationPropertyDomain • Syntax example: FMA:UWDAIDrdfs:domainFMA:AnatomicalEntity. (UC#2) – Only FMA: AnatomicalEntitycan have an FMA:UWDAID (that is, an FMA ID) – AnnotationPropertyRange Syntax example: FMA:UWDAIDrdfs:rangexsd:positiveInteger.

  22. New Features: Syntactic Sugar Disjoint unions Shorthand for combination of disjointWith and unionOf statements BrainHemisphereowl:disjointUnionOf( :LeftHemisphere:RightHemisphere) . BrainHemisphereis exclusively either a :LeftHemisphere or :RightHemisphere and cannot be both of them. DisjointUnion(Element Earth Wind Fire Water) Negative assertions States that a property does not hold for a particular individual NegativeObjectPropertyAssertion(Deborah hasChild Mary) NegativeDataPropertyAssertion (Peter hasAge 21)

  23. Profiles OWL defines only one fragment (OWL Lite) OWL 2 defines three different fragments with useful computational properties EL: polynomial time reasoning for schema and data Useful for ontologies with large conceptual part QL: fast (logspace) query answering using RDBMs via SQL Useful for large datasets already stored in RDBs RL: fast (polynomial) query answering using rule-extended DBs Useful for large datasets stored as RDF triples

  24. EL (Profiles Document Source) Supported class restrictions –existential quantification to a class expression (ObjectSomeValuesFrom) or a data range (DataSomeValuesFrom) –existential quantification to an individual (ObjectHasValue) or a literal (DataHasValue) –self-restriction (ObjectHasSelf) –enumerations involving a singleindividual (ObjectOneOf) or a singleliteral (DataOneOf) –intersection of classes (ObjectIntersectionOf) and data ranges (DataIntersectionOf) Supported axioms, restricted to class restrictions –class inclusion (SubClassOf) –class equivalence (EquivalentClasses) –class disjointness(DisjointClasses) –object property inclusion (SubObjectPropertyOf) with or without property chains, and data property inclusion (SubDataPropertyOf) –property equivalence (EquivalentObjectPropertiesand EquivalentDataProperties), –transitive object properties (TransitiveObjectProperty) –reflexive object properties (ReflexiveObjectProperty) –domain restrictions (ObjectPropertyDomainand DataPropertyDomain) –range restrictions (ObjectPropertyRangeand DataPropertyRange) –assertions (SameIndividual, DifferentIndividuals, ClassAssertion, ObjectPropertyAssertion, DataPropertyAssertion, NegativeObjectPropertyAssertion, and NegativeDataPropertyAssertion) –functional data properties (FunctionalDataProperty) –keys (HasKey)

  25. EL does NOT support universal quantification to a class expression (ObjectAllValuesFrom) or a data range (DataAllValuesFrom) –cardinality restrictions (ObjectMaxCardinality, ObjectMinCardinality, ObjectExactCardinality, DataMaxCardinality, DataMinCardinality, and DataExactCardinality) –disjunction (ObjectUnionOf, DisjointUnion, and DataUnionOf) –class negation (ObjectComplementOf) –enumerations involving more than one individual (ObjectOneOfand DataOneOf) –disjoint properties (DisjointObjectPropertiesand DisjointDataProperties) –irreflexiveobject properties (IrreflexiveObjectProperty) –inverse object properties (InverseObjectProperties) –functional and inverse-functional object properties (FunctionalObjectPropertyand InverseFunctionalObjectProperty) –symmetric object properties (SymmetricObjectProperty) –asymmetric object properties (AsymmetricObjectProperty)

  26. QL Supported class restrictions –Subclass Expressions a class existential quantification (ObjectSomeValuesFrom) where the class is limited to owl:Thing existential quantification to a data range (DataSomeValuesFrom) –SuperclassExpressions a class intersection (ObjectIntersectionOf) negation (ObjectComplementOf) existential quantification to a class (ObjectSomeValuesFrom) existential quantification to a data range (DataSomeValuesFrom) Supported axioms, compliant with class restriction expressions –subclass axioms (SubClassOf) –class expression equivalence (EquivalentClasses) –class expression disjointness(DisjointClasses) –inverse object properties (InverseObjectProperties) –property inclusion (SubObjectPropertyOfnot involving property chains and SubDataPropertyOf) –property equivalence (EquivalentObjectPropertiesand EquivalentDataProperties) –property domain (ObjectPropertyDomainand DataPropertyDomain) –property range (ObjectPropertyRangeand DataPropertyRange) –disjoint properties (DisjointObjectPropertiesand DisjointDataProperties) –symmetric properties (SymmetricObjectProperty) –reflexive properties (ReflexiveObjectProperty) –irreflexiveproperties (IrreflexiveObjectProperty) –asymmetric properties (AsymmetricObjectProperty) –assertions other than individual equality assertions and negative

  27. QL does not support –existential quantification to a class expression or a data range (ObjectSomeValuesFromand DataSomeValuesFrom) in the subclass position –self-restriction (ObjectHasSelf) –existential quantification to an individual or a literal (ObjectHasValue, DataHasValue) –enumeration of individuals and literals (ObjectOneOf, DataOneOf) –universal quantification to a class expression or a data range (ObjectAllValuesFrom, DataAllValuesFrom) –cardinality restrictions (ObjectMaxCardinality, ObjectMinCardinality, ObjectExactCardinality, DataMaxCardinality, DataMinCardinality, DataExactCardinality) –disjunction (ObjectUnionOf, DisjointUnion, and DataUnionOf) –property inclusions (SubObjectPropertyOf) involving property chains –functional and inverse-functional properties (FunctionalObjectProperty, InverseFunctionalObjectProperty, and FunctionalDataProperty) –transitive properties (TransitiveObjectProperty) –keys (HasKey) –individual equality assertions and negative property assertions

  28. RL –Subclass expressions •a class other than owl:Thing •an enumeration of individuals (ObjectOneOf) •intersection of class expressions (ObjectIntersectionOf) •union of class expressions (ObjectUnionOf) •existential quantification to a class expression (ObjectSomeValuesFrom) •existential quantification to a data range (DataSomeValuesFrom) •existential quantification to an individual (ObjectHasValue) •existential quantification to a literal (DataHasValue) –Superclassexpressions •a class other than owl:Thing •intersection of classes (ObjectIntersectionOf) •negation (ObjectComplementOf) •universal quantification to a class expression (ObjectAllValuesFrom) •existential quantification to an individual (ObjectHasValue) •at-most 0/1 cardinality restriction to a class expression (ObjectMaxCardinality0/1) •universal quantification to a data range (DataAllValuesFrom) •existential quantification to a literal (DataHasValue) •at-most 0/1 cardinality restriction to a data range (DataMaxCardinality0/1)

  29. RL does not support OWL 2 RL supports all axioms of OWL 2 apart from disjoint unions of classes (DisjointUnion) and reflexive object property axioms (ReflexiveObjectProperty)

  41. 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 Recommendation January 15, 2009 • XQUERY (for XML) • SeRQL (for SeSAME) • RDFQuery (RDF) • Few as yet for natural language representations (ROO – Dolbear, et al., …)

  42. What is Query? • http://esw.w3.org/topic/SPARQL • Languages • SPARQL for RDF (http://www.sparql.org/ and http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-query/ ) • RDFQuery for RDF • SeRQL for RDF (SeSAME) • OWL-QL for OWL (http://projects.semwebcentral.org/projects/owl-ql/ ) • XQUERY for XML • Few as yet for natural language representations (ROO – Dolbear, et al., …)

  43. SPARQL • W3 Recommendation, Jan 2008 • SPARQL has 4 result forms: • SELECT – Return a table of results. • CONSTRUCT – Return an RDF graph, based on a template in the query. • DESCRIBE – Return an RDF graph, based on what the query processor is configured to return. • ASK – Ask a boolean query. • The SELECT form directly returns a table • DESCRIBE and CONSTRUCT use the outcome of matching to build RDF graphs.

  44. SPARQL Solution Modifiers • Pattern matching produces a set of solutions. This set can be modified in various ways: • Projection - keep only selected variables • OFFSET/LIMIT - chop the number solutions (best used with ORDER BY) • ORDER BY - sorted results • DISTINCT - yield only one row for one combination of variables and values. • The solution modifiers OFFSET/LIMIT and ORDER BY always apply to all result forms.

  45. Query examples PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> SELECT ?url FROM <bloggers.rdf> WHERE { ?contributor foaf:name "Jon Foobar" . ?contributor foaf:weblog ?url . } namespace Returns a table in ‘url’ (can use $) Triple patterns using Turtle syntax

  46. What happens • These triples together comprise a graph pattern. • The query attempts to match the triples of the graph pattern to the model. • Each matching binding of the graph pattern's variables to the model's nodes becomes a query solution, and the values of the variables named in the SELECT clause become part of the query results. • In this example, the first triple in the WHERE clause's graph pattern matches a node with a foaf:name property of "Jon Foobar," and binds it to the variable named contributor. • In the bloggers.rdf model, contributor will match the foaf:Agent blank-node at the top of the figure. • The graph pattern's second triple matches the object of the contributor's foaf:weblog property. • This is bound to the url variable, forming a query solution.

  47. Using SPARQL with Jena • Jena calls RDF graphs "models" and triples "statements" because that is what they were called at the time the Jena API was first designed • ARQ's query engine can also parse queries expressed in RDQL or its own internal query language. ARQ is under active development, and is not yet part of the standard Jena distribution. • http://jena.sourceforge.net/ARQ/Tutorial/data.html • Can also use SPARQL from the command line

  48. com.hp.hpl.jena.query package // Open the bloggers RDF graph from the filesystem InputStream in = new FileInputStream(new File("bloggers.rdf")); // Create an empty in-memory model and populate it from the graph Model model = ModelFactory.createMemModelMaker().createModel(); model.read(in,null); // null base URI, since model URIs are absolute in.close(); // Create a new query String queryString = "PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> " + "SELECT ?url " + "WHERE {" + " ?contributor foaf:name \"Jon Foobar\" . " + " ?contributor foaf:weblog ?url . " + " }”; Query query = QueryFactory.create(queryString); // Execute the query and obtain results QueryExecution qe = QueryExecutionFactory.create(query, model); ResultSet results = qe.execSelect(); // Output query results ResultSetFormatter.out(System.out, results, query); // Important - free up resources used running the query qe.close();

  49. More complex queries @prefix foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> . _:a foaf:name "Jon Foobar" ; foaf:mbox <mailto:jon@foobar.xx> ; foaf:depiction <http://foobar.xx/2005/04/jon.jpg> . _:b foaf:name "A. N. O'Ther" ; foaf:mbox <mailto:a.n.other@example.net> ; foaf:depiction <http://example.net/photos/an-2005.jpg> . _:c foaf:name "Liz Somebody" ; foaf:mbox_sha1sum "3f01fa9929df769aff173f57dec2fe0c2290aeea" _:d foaf:name "M Benn" ; foaf:depiction <http://mbe.nn/pics/me.jpeg> .

  50. Querying FOAF data with an optional block PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> SELECT ?name ?depiction WHERE { ?person foaf:name ?name . OPTIONAL { ?person foaf:depiction ?depiction . } . } | name | depiction | | "A. N. O'Ther" | <http://example.net/photos/an-2005.jpg> | | "Jon Foobar" | <http://foobar.xx/2005/04/jon.jpg> | | "Liz Somebody" | | | "M Benn" | <http://mbe.nn/pics/me.jpeg>
