Fuzzy Reasoning Procedure For Ontologies Based On Rough Membership Approximation, Armand Florentin Donfack Kana, Babatunde Opeoluwa Akinkunmi
Future Computing and Informatics Journal
One of the major challenges in modeling a real-world domain is how to effectively represent uncertain and incomplete knowledge of that domain. Several techniques for representing uncertainty in ontologies have been proposed with some of the techniques lacking provision for vague inference. The classical tableaux-based algorithm does not provide the flexibility for reasoning over such vague ontologies. However, several extensions of the tableaux-based algorithm have been proposed to cope with fuzzy reasoning. Similarly, several alternative reasoning methods for incomplete, inconsistent, and uncertain ontologies have been proposed. One of the major limitations of most of those techniques is that they require …
Ontologies For Geospatial Information: Progress And Challenges Ahead, Christophe Claramunt
Ontologies For Geospatial Information: Progress And Challenges Ahead, Christophe Claramunt
Journal of Spatial Information Science
Over the past 50 years or so the representation of spatial information within computerized systems has been widely addressed and developed in order to provide suitable data manipulation, analysis, and visualisation mechanisms. The range of applications is unlimited and nowadays impacts almost all sciences and practices. However, current conceptualisations and numerical representations of geospatial information still require the development of richer abstract models that match the complexity of spatial and temporal information. Geospatial ontologies are promising modelling alternatives that might favour the implementation and sharing of geographical information. The objective of this vision paper is to provide a short introduction …
Spatial Knowledge Representation Model Of Simulation Scenario Based On Ontology, Zhu Jie, Hongjun Zhang
Spatial Knowledge Representation Model Of Simulation Scenario Based On Ontology, Zhu Jie, Hongjun Zhang
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: Military simulation scenario has abundant spatial knowledge and is closely related to various models of combat simulation. In view of the lack of uniform specification for the description of simulation scenario knowledge, it is necessary to construct a spatial knowledge representation model in line with spatial thinking to effectively analyze the spatial entities and their interrelationships in simulation scenario. The ontology method is used to establish spatial knowledge domain ontology and form the formal description specification of spatial knowledge concept; the spatial knowledge structure is described hierarchically by using the method of concept knowledge tree, clarifying the semantic logic …

Agent-Based Semantic Role Mining For Intelligent Access Control In Multi-Domain Collaborative Applications Of Smart Cities, Rubina Ghazal, Ahmad Kamran Malik, Basit Raza, Nauman Qadeer, Nafees Qamar, Sajal Bhatia
School of Computer Science & Engineering Faculty Publications
Significance and popularity of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is inevitable; however, its application is highly challenging in multi-domain collaborative smart city environments. The reason is its limitations in adapting the dynamically changing information of users, tasks, access policies and resources in such applications. It also does not incorporate semantically meaningful business roles, which could have a diverse impact upon access decisions in such multi-domain collaborative business environments. We propose an Intelligent Role-based Access Control (I-RBAC) model that uses intelligent software agents for achieving intelligent access control in such highly dynamic multi-domain environments. The novelty of this model lies in using …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The impact of the pandemic caused by COVID-19 has been immense in all fields of human activity. In most of the affected countries, the authorities have decreed a series of legal measures to try to stop the growth of the disease and the number of people affected by it. These legal measures involved, in most cases, restrictions on the free movement of people and on work and trade activities, new hygiene procedures, and social distancing. In the particular case of Spain, the rapid evolution of the pandemic led to the declaration of a so-called state of alarm and a period …

Research On Context-Aware Model Of Combat Processes, Qiaoyu Deng, He Ming, Zhixue Wang, Zhongwei Wang
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: In traditional joint operations, all collaborators make collaboration rules in advance to guide the operations. The unknown battlefield environment varies constantly, and military organizations must make adjustments to guarantee the combat operations order. A model of operational processes based on context awareness is built. The ontology theory is introduced to present the context. On the basis of event calculus, the analysis is carried out to the perceived context of combat processes, and the variation of organizations ability and the situation of processes are provided to guide the self-synchronizing decision-making.
Ontology Based Devs Modeling Method, Rong Gang, Xiao Jun, Yunping Hu, Yiping Feng
Ontology Based Devs Modeling Method, Rong Gang, Xiao Jun, Yunping Hu, Yiping Feng
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: In the field of modeling and simulation, it’s difficult to reuse the models because the models and simulation system are coupled seriously. The Ontology-driven modeling theory is a simulation modeling methodology for model reuse. A new DEVS modeling method was proposed based on this theory. The DEVS modeling ontology DEVSMO was built and the DEVS model could be described as the instance of the DEVSMO. This form of DEVS model was independent of the DEVS simulation environment, which improved the model reusability. A tool was developed to translate the DEVSMO instance to DEVS executable models to verify the …

About One Approach To Implementing Semantic Search, Murtadha Rasol, Jamal Challab, Adnan Al-Saeedi
About One Approach To Implementing Semantic Search, Murtadha Rasol, Jamal Challab, Adnan Al-Saeedi
Karbala International Journal of Modern Science
Traditional search mechanisms are based on the keyword search, which does not consider the semantic links between different concepts. This leads to the loss of relevant documents due to inaccurate query formulation or using contextually close words and concepts in the query. To solve the problems of formulating user queries and interdisciplinarity of concepts, it is suggested to use semantic search. The proposed method for implementing semantic search is applicable to large scopes of text data and is based on using a genetic algorithm. Unlike standard methods for information search, the suggested method allows us to consider the semantics of …

Towards Harmonizing Property Measurement Standards, Abdullah Kara, Volkan Çağdaş, Ümit Işıkdağ, Bülent Onur Turan
Journal of Spatial Information Science
Area and volume values of buildings and building parts have been used in many applications including taxation, valuation and land use planning. Many countries maintain a national standard for representing the measurements of floor areas in buildings. The national standards generally use similar basis for measuring building floor areas, in fact, areas specified in national standards often have semantic differences. Therefore, a number of international standards have been developed for harmonizing floor area measurements; however, they also have differences. This study aims at harmonizing the floor areas defined in the international property measurement standards by revealing the semantic relations between …

The nascent field of digital forensics is heavily influenced by practice. Much digital forensics research involves the use, evaluation, and categorization of the multitude of tools available to researchers and practitioners. As technology evolves at an increasingly rapid pace, the digital forensics field must constantly adapt by creating and evaluating new tools and techniques to perform forensic analysis on many disparate systems such as desktops, notebook computers, mobile devices, cloud, and personal wearable sensor devices, among many others. While researchers have attempted to use ontologies to classify the digital forensics domain on various dimensions, no ontology of digital forensic tools …
Semantic Data Storage In Information Systems, Jean Vincent Fonou Dombeu, Raoul Kwuimi
Semantic Data Storage In Information Systems, Jean Vincent Fonou Dombeu, Raoul Kwuimi
The African Journal of Information Systems
The storage and retrieval of information are important functions of information systems (IS). These IS functions have been realized for decades, due to the maturity of the relational database technology. In recent years, the concept of Semantic Information System (SIS) has emerged as IS in which information is represented with explicit semantic based on its meaning rather than its syntax to enable its automatic and intelligent processing by computers. At present, there is a shortage of discussions on the topic of semantic data storage in IS as compared to the relational database storage counterpart. This study uses a combination of …
Development And Semantic Exploitation Of A Relational Data Model For Service Delivery In South African Municipalities, Kgotatso Desmond Mogotlane, Jean Vincent Fonou Dombeu
Development And Semantic Exploitation Of A Relational Data Model For Service Delivery In South African Municipalities, Kgotatso Desmond Mogotlane, Jean Vincent Fonou Dombeu
The African Journal of Information Systems
Relational databases (RDB) are the main sources of structured data for government institutions and businesses. Since these databases are dependent on autonomous hardware and software they create problems of data integration and interoperability. Solutions have been proposed to convert RDB into ontology to enable their sharing, reuse and integration on the Semantic Web. However, the proposed methods and techniques remain highly technical and there is lack of research that focuses on the empirical application of these methods and techniques in information systems (IS) domains. This study develops and semantically exploits a relational data model of the South African Municipalities Information …
A Context-Sensitive Conceptual Framework For Activity Modeling, Rahul Deb Das, Stephan Winter
A Context-Sensitive Conceptual Framework For Activity Modeling, Rahul Deb Das, Stephan Winter
Journal of Spatial Information Science
Human motion trajectories, however captured, provide a rich spatiotemporal data source for human activity recognition, and the rich literature in motion trajectory analysis provides the tools to bridge the gap between this data and its semantic interpretation. But activity is an ambiguous term across research communities. For example, in urban transport research activities are generally characterized around certain locations assuming the opportunities and resources are present in that location, and traveling happens between these locations for activity participation, i.e., travel is not an activity, rather a mean to overcome spatial constraints. In contrast, in human-computer interaction (HCI) research and in …
Intelligent Text Classification System Based On Self-Administered Ontology, Manoj Manuja, Deepak Garg
Intelligent Text Classification System Based On Self-Administered Ontology, Manoj Manuja, Deepak Garg
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Over the last couple of decades, web classification has gradually transitioned from a syntax- to semantic-centered approach that classifies the text based on domain ontologies. These ontologies are either built manually or populated automatically using machine learning techniques. A prerequisite condition to build such systems is the availability of ontology, which may be either full-fledged domain ontology or a seed ontology that can be enriched automatically. This is a dependency condition for any given semantics-based text classification system. We share the details of a proof of concept of a web classification system that is self-governed in terms of ontology population …

The Semantics Of Similarity In Geographic Information Retrieval, Krzysztof Janowicz, Martin Raubal, Werner Kuhn
Journal of Spatial Information Science
Similarity measures have a long tradition in fields such as information retrieval artificial intelligence and cognitive science. Within the last years these measures have been extended and reused to measure semantic similarity; i.e. for comparing meanings rather than syntactic differences. Various measures for spatial applications have been developed but a solid foundation for answering what they measure; how they are best applied in information retrieval; which role contextual information plays; and how similarity values or rankings should be interpreted is still missing. It is therefore difficult to decide which measure should be used for a particular application or to compare …
