Presenting and Preserving the Change in Taxonomic Knowledge for Linked Data (Extended Abstract)
April 2018
Pages 461 - 465
Abstract
Linked Open Data (LOD) technology enables web of data and exchangeable knowledge graphs through the Internet. However, the change in knowledge is happened everywhere and every time, and it becomes a challenging issue of linking data precisely because the misinterpretation and misunderstanding of some terms and concepts may be dissimilar under different context of time and different community knowledge. To solve this issue, we introduce an approach to the preservation of knowledge graph, and we select the biodiversity domain to be our case studies because knowledge of this domain is commonly changed and all changes are clearly documented. Our work produces an ontology, transformation rules, and an application to demonstrate that it is feasible to present and preserve knowledge graphs and provides open and accurate access to linked data. It covers changes in names and their relationships from different time and communities as can be seen in the cases of taxonomic knowledge.

Presenting and preserving the change in taxonomic knowledge for linked data
Semantics for biodiversityTaxonomic knowledge provides a scientific name to each organismal group and is thus indispensable information for understanding biodiversity. However, the various perspectives of classifying organisms and changes in taxonomic knowledge have led to ...
Using the relation ontology Metarel for modelling Linked Data as multi-digraphs
Linked Data for Health Care and the Life SciencesThe Semantic Web standards OWL and RDF are often used to represent biomedical information as Linked Data; however, the OWL/RDF syntax, which combines both, was never optimised for querying. By combining two formal paradigms for modelling Linked Data, ...
A domain independent framework for extracting linked semantic data from tables
Search ComputingVast amounts of information is encoded in tables found in documents, on the Web, and in spreadsheets or databases. Integrating or searching over this information benefits from understanding its intended meaning and making it explicit in a semantic ...
