Learning Ontologies from RDF Annotations

This paper presents a systematic approach to learning ontologies from RDF annotations. It introduces the process of extracting information from RDF annotations to construct the most specific generalizations of resource sets. The authors detail the RDF and RDFS frameworks, exemplifying with RDF graph representations. Key methodologies include the grouping of concepts based on intentions and extensions, iterative joining of triples, and the incremental building of a generalization hierarchy. Future work involves enhancing complexity management, integrating heuristics, and developing a user-friendly interface for ontology generation.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Learning Ontologies from RDF Annotations Alexandre Delteil, Catherine Faron-Zucker, Rose Dieng ACACIA project, INRIA, 2004 Sophia Antipolis, France

  2. TOC • Introduction • RDF & RDFS Background • Ontology Example • Approach to Ontology Learning • Conclusion • Future Work

  3. Introduction • Build ontologies from information extracted from RDF annotations “We have … a method to learn ontologies from RDF annotations by systematically generating the most specific generalization of all the possible sets of resources.”

  4. Property Resource or literal RDF Annotation • Triplet statement (resource, property, value), (Njal, type, Cat) • Easily represented as a graph • XML syntax provided

  5. Anonyms Resource XML Serialization of RDF Annotation <rdf:Description about=‘#Njal’> <rdf:type resource=‘#Cat’ /> <livesIn> <rdf:Description> <rdf:type resource=‘#House’ /> <ownedBy rdf:resouce=‘Catherine’ /> </rdf:Description> </livesIn> </rdf:Description>

  6. RDF Schema (RDFS) • RDFS -> schema specification language • Specifies ontological knowledge used in RDF statements • Consists of a set of declarations of classes and properties • Defines class and property hierarchies • Multiple inheritance

  7. RDFS Metamodel and RDFS Ontology

  8. Pieces of Knowledge and Descriptions • Piece of Knowledge -> set of nodes directly connected with the resource… • Descriptionn -> largest set of nodes connected with the resource and having a path length <= n • Complete Description -> the set of nodes connected to the resource through all possible properties

  9. Piece of Knowledge Relative to Njal

  10. D1(Njal): Description

  11. D2(Njal): Description

  12. Ontology Learning • Systematically consider all concepts covering a set of resource nodes • RDF graph resource extraction techniques preliminary first step • Group concepts and resources based on intensions and extensions • Incrementally build generalization hierarchy

  13. Building of S1

  14. D1(Njal): Concept Hierarchy

  15. Hierarch Based on Descriptions of Length N • Construct triples of intensions and related extensions • Iteratively join triple L1 with triple in path • Join all possible triples and paths • Construct intensions of length n • Build sets Sn from inclusion relations between node extensions

  16. Building of S2 from S1

  17. D2(Njal): Concept Hierarchy

  18. Conclusion • Lacks clarity • Gaps in logic in explanation, S1 -> Ontology • Relies on RDF annotations previously generated • Result complexity can increase exponentially • Requires no training data • Little or no user input • Implemented and tested inside European IST Comma Project

  19. Future Work • Inclusion of heuristics • Insertion of domain specific criteria • Graphical UI • Bounding methods to reduce complexity • RDF annotation generator
