TANGO Overview TANGO: Table ANalysis for Generating Ontologies Project consists of the following three components: • Transform tables into a canonicalized form • Generate mini-ontologies • Merge into a growing ontology
Thesis Statement • Proposed Solution • Develop a tool to accurately generate mini-ontologies from canonicalized tables of data automatically, semi-automatically, or manually. • Evaluation • Evaluate accuracy of tool with respect to: concept/value recognition, relationship discovery, and constraint discovery.
Sample Input Sample Output
Mini-Ontology GeneratOr (MOGO) • Concept/Value Recognition • Relationship Discovery • Constraint Discovery NOTE: MOGO implements a base set of algorithms for each step of the process and allows for runtime integration of new algorithms.
Concept/Value Recognition • Lexical Clues • Data value assignment • Labels as data values • Default • Classifies any unclassified elements according to simple heuristic. Region State Concepts and Value Assignments Population Latitude Longitude Northeast Northwest Delaware Maine Oregon Washington 2,122,869 817,376 1,305,493 9,690,665 3,559,547 6,131,118 45 44 45 43 -90 -93 -120 -120
Relationship Discovery • Dimension Tree Mappings • Lexical Clues • Generalization/Specialization • Aggregation • Data Frames • Ontology Fragment Merge
Constraint Discovery • Generalization/Specialization • Computed Values • Functional Relationships • Optional Participation
Validation • Concept/Value Recognition • Correctly identified concepts • Missed concepts • False positives • Data values assignment • Relationship Discovery • Valid relationship sets • Invalid relationship sets • Missed relationship sets • Constraint Discovery • Valid constraints • Invalid constraints • Missed constraints
Contribution • Tool to generate mini-ontologies • Assessment of accuracy of automatic generation
