Comparative study of open source and dot NET environments for ontology development.Mahoro, Leki Jovial 05 1900 (has links)
M. Tech. (Department of Information & Communication Technology, Faculty of Applied and Computer Sciences), Vaal University of Technology. / Many studies have evaluated and compared the existing open-sources Semantic Web platforms for ontologies development. However, none of these studies have included the dot NET-based semantic web platforms in the empirical investigations. This study conducted a comparative analysis of open-source and dot NET-based semantic web platforms for ontologies development. Two popular dot NET-based semantic web platforms, namely, SemWeb.NET and dotNetRDF were analyzed and compared against open-source environments including Jena Application Programming Interface (API), Protégé and RDF4J also known as Sesame Software Development Kit (SDK). Various metrics such as storage mode, query support, consistency checking, interoperability with other tools, and many more were used to compare two categories of platforms. Five ontologies of different sizes are used in the experiments.
The experimental results showed that the open-source platforms provide more facilities for creating, storing and processing ontologies compared to the dot NET-based tools. Furthermore, the experiments revealed that Protégé and RDF4J open-source and dotNetRDF platforms provide both graphical user interface (GUI) and command line interface for ontologies processing, whereas, Jena open-source and SemWeb.NET are command line platforms. Moreover, the results showed that the open-source platforms are capable of processing multiple ontologies’ files formats including Resource Description Framework (RDF) and Ontology Web Language (OWL) formats, whereas, the dot NET-based tools only process RDF ontologies. Finally, the experiment results indicate that the dot NET-based platforms have limited memory size as they failed to load and query large ontologies compared to open-source environments.

Semantic Process Engineering – Konzeption und Realisierung eines Werkzeugs zur semantischen ProzessmodellierungFellmann, Michael 23 October 2013 (has links)
In der Geschäftsprozessmodellierung haben sich semiformale, grafische Darstellungen etabliert. Die Bezeichnung der Elemente in diesen Modellen ist dabei an betriebswirtschaftliche Fachtermini angelehnt und erfolgt mit Hilfe der natürlichen Sprache, die jedoch Interpretationsspielräume mit sich bringt. Die Semantik der einzelnen Modellelemente ist somit für Menschen und Maschinen nicht eindeutig interpretierbar. In der vorliegenden Dissertation erfolgt daher die Konzeption und Realisierung einer semantischen Prozessmodellierung, die die Verknüpfung der semiformalen Prozessmodellierung mit formalen Begriffssystemen (Ontologien) gestaltet und werkzeugtechnisch unterstützt. Durch diese Verknüpfung wird die Semantik der einzelnen Modellelemente um eine eindeutige und maschinell verarbeitbare Semantik erweitert. Hierdurch können die mit formalen Ontologien möglichen Schlussfolgerungen angewendet werden, um etwa bei der Suche in Modellbeständen oder der Korrektheitsprüfung genauere oder vollständigere Ergebnisse zu erhalten. Im Ergebnis werden somit die im Bereich der Informatik und Künstlichen Intelligenz etablierten Ansätze der Wissensrepräsentation, insbesondere der Beschreibungslogik, in die fachlichen Prozessmodellierung eingebettet. Die Erprobung des Konzepts erfolgt über eine prototypische Implementierung, die einerseits die technische Umsetzbarkeit zeigt, andererseits auch für ein Laborexperiment zur Evaluation genutzt wurde.

Transformace webových aplikací na webové služby / Transformation of Web Applications into Web ServicesZámečník, Miroslav January 2008 (has links)
Present web is aiming to the possibility of automatization of user behavior on web applications. Adding of semantics and creation of web service interface are the main approaches for accomplishment of this user comfort. Nevertheless, this direction brings some problems which can make more difficult publishing and implementation of web documents. Web services can connect heterogeneous systems, because they are based on XML markup language that is a place where all applications can meet without lost of platform independence. The automatic transformation of a web application into a web service could be considerably more effective than to create a web service from the beginning. However, this step is for some applications almost unreal without knowledge of their inner structure. In most cases, the transformation will be done semiautomatically with help of human decisions.

Evaluating the Effects of Cheatgrass on Western Burrowing OwlsDraughon, Kaylee R. 21 June 2024 (has links) (PDF)
There has been a global decline of specialist species observed in recent decades due to the impacts of climate change, invasive species, and habitat loss. Habitat loss and degradation may lead to a mismatch between habitat attractiveness and actual quality, otherwise known as an ecological trap. Ecological traps occur when an organism is constrained by its evolutionary past to select for cues that no longer accurately predict habitat quality. Specialist species are more susceptible to ecological traps due to greater reliance on and fidelity to historic sites and resources. The burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia), a specialist bird species adapted to open ecosystems, has declined throughout its extent. Anthropogenic activity has drastically and rapidly altered burrowing owl native habitat, exposing their habitat to disturbances such as cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) invasion. The presence of cheatgrass is known to impact the biota of a region and understanding those impacts is becoming increasingly important. The purpose of this study was to quantify the impact of cheatgrass on burrowing owl populations. By assessing how cheatgrass influences the resource selection, nesting success, and food habits of burrowing owls, we provided information that can be utilized to make more informed decisions on how to conserve burrowing owls and their critical nesting habitat. In addition, this information can provide insight into the risk of ecological traps occurring to all specialist species experiencing degradation of their native habitat.

Especificación OWL de una ontología para teleeducación en WEB semánticaRomero Llop, Roberto 06 May 2008 (has links)
Debido al gran desarrollo de la World Wide Web, tanto en cantidad de contenidos y nodos como en velocidades de acceso, aparecen por parte de la comunidad científico-técnica propuestas de utilización de la misma con objetivos más ambiciosos que la mera descarga de ficheros para ser presentados al usuario. Con esa finalidad se desarrolla la Web Semántica, sistema que pretende introducir información entendible por Agentes Inteligentes, permitiendo de este modo que estos Agentes puedan aumentar sus bases de conocimiento y realizar inferencias que faciliten procesos realizados actualmente de forma manual por los usuarios. De esta forma surgen los lenguajes ontológicos para la web, y en concreto el lenguaje recomendado por la World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) denominado Web Ontology Language (OWL), así como razonadores relacionados como FACT++, Racer y Pellet.
Además, con el objetivo de aprovechar el potencial de la web, se han ido generando gran cantidad de contenidos educativos, que debido a los altos costes de producción generan una necesidad de potenciar la reutilización de dichos contenidos. Aparece en este caso el concepto de objeto educativo, que es susceptible de ser reaprovechado para otras experiencias de aprendizaje, con alguna modificación o sin modificación alguna, generando la denominada interoperabilidad de objetos educativos.
El presente trabajo pretende potenciar esta interoperabilidad de objetos educativos. Para ello se especifica una ontología completa para teleeducación, basada en la lógica descriptiva y desarrollada en el lenguaje OWL, para que pueda ser utilizada por medio de la Web Semántica. Se estudian, desarrollan e implementan dentro de esta ontología conceptos relacionados con la interacción de los distintos agentes que intervienen en una experiencia de aprendizaje a través de la web.
La ontología presentada va además acompañada de una especificación de arquitectura de pares o Peer to Peer (P2P) basada en las arquitecturas de tablas de búsqueda distribuidas (DHTs), que denominaremos DHT Semántica. La DHT Semántica está diseñada para permitir la explotación por parte de Agentes Inteligentes de la ontología especificada, con una alta tolerancia a fallos en nodos de la arquitectura. Estos Agentes asisten en la búsqueda de objetos educativos más allá de la búsqueda por palabras claves. Finalmente, tanto la ontología como la arquitectura se validan utilizando un conjunto de experiencias educativas on-line reales. / Romero Llop, R. (2007).

Geology of the Palo Verde Ranch Area, Owl Head Mining District, Pinal County, ArizonaApplebaum, Steven January 1975 (has links)
A quartz diorite intrusion of probable early Tertiary age that crops out over at least 6 square miles in the Palo Verde Ranch area in Pinal County, Arizona was mapped as a distinct intrusion. The quartz diorite intrudes an area comprising Pinal Schist, Oracle granite, andesitic flows, granoaplite, and dike rocks including both pegmatite and diabase. Two major physical features, the Owl Head Buttes and Chief Buttes volcanic areas, both remnants of an extensive early Tertiary series of flows of intermediate composition that covered the area, now remain as lava-capped buttes above the pediment. Weak but persistent fracture-controlled copper mineralization is found in the quartz diorite and the Pinal Schist at or near their mutual contacts in the form of chrysocolla, malachite, black copper oxides, chalcocite, chalcopyrite, and bornite, in decreasing order. Pyrite is rare. Alteration related to northeast and northwest-trending fractures increases in intensity from the common propylitic to argillic to the northeast toward the San Juan claims area. A barely discernible increase in copper sulfides mirrors the alteration zoning, although geochemical sampling showed background copper in the quartz diorite to be more uniform away from fractures.

SweetDeal: Representing Agent Contracts With Exceptions using XML Rules, Ontologies, and Process DescriptionsGROSOF, BENJAMIN, POON, TERRENCE C. 16 September 2003 (has links)
SweetDeal is a rule-based approach to representation of business contracts that enables software agents to create, evaluate, negotiate, and execute contracts with substantial automation and modularity. It builds upon the situated courteous logic programs knowledge representation in RuleML, the emerging standard for Semantic Web XML rules. Here, we newly extend the SweetDeal approach by also incorporating process knowledge descriptions whose ontologies are represented in DAML+OIL (the close predecessor of W3C's OWL, the emerging standard for Semantic Web ontologies), thereby enabling more complex contracts with behavioral provisions, especially for handling exception conditions (e.g., late delivery or non-payment) that might arise during the execution of the contract. This provides a foundation for representing and automating deals about services – in particular, about Web Services, so as to help search, select, and compose them. We give a detailed application scenario of late delivery in manufacturing supply chain management (SCM). In doing so, we draw upon our new formalization of process ontology knowledge from the MIT Process Handbook, a large, previously-existing repository used by practical industrial process designers. Our system is the first to combine emerging Semantic Web standards for knowledge representation of rules (RuleML) with ontologies (DAML+OIL/OWL) with each other, and moreover for a practical e-business application domain, and further to do so with process knowledge. This also newly fleshes out the evolving concept of Semantic Web Services. A prototype (soon public) i
