daptive information extraction Exteca is an ontology-based technology written in Java for high-quality knowledge management and document categorisation, including entity extraction. Though code is still available, no updates have been provided since 2006. It can be used in conjunction with search engines IODT is IBM’s toolkit for ontology-driven development. The toolkit includes EMF Ontolgy Definition Metamodel (EODM), EODM workbench, and an OWL Ontology Repository (named Minerva) KAON is an open-sourc…
The Time and Technology is Here to Stand Software Engineering on its Head As an information society we have become a software society. Software is everywhere, from our phones and our desktops, to our cars, homes and every location in between. The amount of software used worldwide is unknowable; we do not even have agreed measures to quantify its extent or value [1]. We suspect there are at least 1 billion lines of code that have accumulated over time [1,2]. On the order of $875 billion was spent worldwide on software in 2010, of…
…erence and interoperability of interconnected data. We are now concluding the first decade of ontology development tools, especially those geared to the semantic Web and its associated languages of RDFS and OWL. Last year we also saw the release of the major update to the OWL 2 language, with its shift to more expressiveness and a variety of profiles. The upcoming next generation of ontology tools now must also shift. The current imperative is to shift away from ontology engineering by a priesthood to pragmatic daily use and maintenance by domain…
…inferencing and analysis and use of the conceptual structure (TBox) Easier federation and incorporation of distributed data stores (instance records), and Better segregation of specialized work to the ABox, TBox and specialty work modules, as this figure shows [14]: Figure 2. Separation of the TBox and ABox [14] Maintaining identity relations and disambiguation as separate components also has the advantage of enabling different methodologies or algorithms to be determined or swapped out as better methods become available. A low-fideli…
earch engines and Google to find ontologies [4], there are actually three curated services that are more useful and which I recommend. The best, by far, is the repository created by the University of Manchester for the now-completed TONES project [5]. TONES has access to some 200+ vetted ontologies, plus a search and filtering facility that helps much in finding specific OWL constructs. It is a bit difficult to filter by OWL 2-compliant only ontologies (except for OWL 2 EL), but other than that, the access and use of the repository is ver…
…ery around ontology, it still has very much the sense of a world view, a means of viewing and organizing and conceptualizing and defining a domain of interest. As is made clear below, I personally prefer a loose and embracing understanding of the term (consistent with Deborah McGuinness’s 2003 paper, Ontologies Come of Age [1]). There has been a resurgence of interest in ontologies of late. Two reasons have been the emergence of Web 2.0 and tagging and folksonomies, as well as the nascent emergence of the structured Web. In fact, on April 23-24 one of the noted communities of pr…

…rategically, it means that development and specification efforts can now move from coding and programmers to ontologies and the subject matter users who define and depend on them. With these advantages, who can argue with that? [1] For the most comprehensive discussion of ODapps, see M. K. Bergman, 2011. ” Ontology-Driven Apps Using Generic Applications,” posted on the AI3:::Adaptive Information blog, March 7, 2011. You may also search on that blog for ‘ODapps‘ to see related content.

…the input data stream into two pathways: Instances, and their descriptive characteristics, and Conceptual relationships, or ontologies. A sequential flow of these steps and splits is provided by this diagram below that shows: 1) the conceptual structure of the concept ontology; as 2) matched with the instances and their descriptive attributes that populate that schema. (click to expand) A key point is that — while a proper starting ontology is essential to our process and proofs-of-concept — it can be grown and scaled incrementa…
