  1. WoK: A Web of Knowledge David W. Embley Brigham Young University Provo, Utah, USA

  2. A Web of Pages  A Web of Facts • Birthdate of my great grandpa Orson • Price and mileage of red Nissans, 1990 or newer • Location and size of chromosome 17 • US states with property crime rates above 1%

  3. Toward a Web of Knowledge • Fundamental questions • What is knowledge? • What are facts? • How does one know? • Philosophy • Ontology • Epistemology • Logic and reasoning

  4. Ontology • Existence  asks “What exists?” • Concepts, relationships, and constraints with formal foundation

  5. Epistemology • The nature of knowledge  asks: “What is knowledge?” and “How is knowledge acquired?” • Populated conceptual model

  6. Logic and Reasoning • Principles of valid inference – asks: “What is known?” and “What can be inferred?” • For us, it answers: what can be inferred (in a formal sense) from conceptualized data. Find price and mileage of red Nissans, 1990 or newer

  7. Making this Work  How? • Distill knowledge from the wealth of digital web data • Annotate web pages • Need a computational alembic to algorithmically turn raw symbols contained in web pages into knowledge Annotation Annotation … … Fact Fact Fact

  8. Turning Raw Symbols into Knowledge • Symbols: $ 11,500 117K Nissan CD AC • Data: price(11,500) mileage(117K) make(Nissan) • Conceptualized data: • Car(C123) has Price($11,500) • Car(C123) has Mileage(117,000) • Car(C123) has Make(Nissan) • Car(C123) has Feature(AC) • Knowledge • “Correct” facts • Provenance

  9. Actualization (with Extraction Ontologies) Find me the price and mileage of all red Nissans – I want a 1990 or newer.

  10. Data Extraction Demo

  11. Semantic Annotation Demo

  12. Free-Form Query Demo

  13. Explanation: How it Works • Extraction Ontologies • Semantic Annotation • Free-Form Query Interpretation

  14. Extraction Ontologies Object sets Relationship sets Participation constraints Lexical Non-lexical Primary object set Aggregation Generalization/Specialization

  15. Extraction Ontologies Data Frame: Internal Representation: float Values External Rep.: \s*[$]\s*(\d{1,3})*(\.\d{2})? Left Context: $ Key Word Phrase Key Words: ([Pp]rice)|([Cc]ost)| … Operators Operator: > Key Words: (more\s*than)|(more\s*costly)|…

  16. Generality & Resiliency ofExtraction Ontologies • Generality: assumptions about web pages • Data rich • Narrow domain • Document types • Single-record documents (hard, but doable) • Multiple-record documents (harder) • Records with scattered components (even harder) • Resiliency: declarative • Still works when web pages change • Works for new, unseen pages in the same domain • Scalable, but takes work to declare the extraction ontology

  17. Semantic Annotation

  18. Free-Form Query Interpretation • Parse Free-Form Query (with respect to data extraction ontology) • Select Ontology • Formulate Query Expression • Run Query Over Semantically Annotated Data

  19. Parse Free-Form Query “Find me the and of all s – I want a ” price mileage red Nissan 1996 or newer >=Operator

  20. Select Ontology “Find me the price and mileage of all red Nissans – I want a 1996 or newer”

  21. Formulate Query Expression • Conjunctive queries and aggregate queries • Mentioned object sets are all of interest. • Values and operator keywords determine conditions. • Color = “red” • Make = “Nissan” • Year >= 1996 >= Operator

  22. Formulate Query Expression For Let Where Return

  23. Run QueryOver Semantically Annotated Data

  24. Great!But Problems Still Need Resolution • How do we create extraction ontologies? • Manual creation requires several dozen person hours • Semi-automatic creation • TISP (Table Interpretation by Sibling Pages) • TANGO (Table ANalysis for Generating Ontologies) • Nested Schemas with Regular Expressions • Synergistic Bootstrapping • Form-based Information Harvesting • How do we scale up? • Practicalities of technology transfer and usage • Millions of queries over zillions of facts for thousands of ontologies

  25. Manual Creation

  26. Manual Creation

  27. Manual Creation • Library of instance recognizers • Library of lexicons

  28. Automatic Annotation with TISP(Table Interpretation with Sibling Pages) • Recognize tables (discard non-tables) • Locate table labels • Locate table values • Find label/value associations

  29. Recognize Tables Layout Tables (discard) Data Table Nested Data Tables

  30. Locate Table Labels Examples: Identification.Gene model(s).Protein Identification.Gene model(s).2

  31. Locate Table Labels Examples: Identification.Gene model(s).Gene Model Identification.Gene model(s).2 1 2

  32. Locate Table Values Value

  33. Find Label/Value Associations Example: (Identification.Gene model(s).Protein, Identification.Gene model(s).2) = WP:CE28918 1 2

  34. Interpretation Technique:Sibling Page Comparison

  35. Interpretation Technique:Sibling Page Comparison Same

  36. Interpretation Technique:Sibling Page Comparison Almost Same

  37. Interpretation Technique:Sibling Page Comparison Different Same

  38. Technique Details • Unnest tables • Match tables in sibling pages • “Perfect” match (table for layout  discard ) • “Reasonable” match (sibling table) • Determine & use table-structure pattern • Discover pattern • Pattern usage • Dynamic pattern adjustment

  39. Generated RDF

  40. WoK Demo (via TISP)

  41. Semi-Automatic Annotation with TANGO (Table Analysis for Generating Ontologies) • Recognize and normalize table information • Construct mini-ontologies from tables • Discover inter-ontology mappings • Merge mini-ontologies into a growing ontology

  42. Recognize Table Information Religion Population Albanian Roman Shi’a Sunni Country (July 2001 est.) Orthodox Muslim Catholic Muslim Muslim other Afganistan 26,813,057 15% 84% 1% Albania 3,510,484 20% 70% 10%

  44. Discover Mappings

  45. Merge

  46. BootstrappingCost-effective and Accurate Extraction • Focus on semi-structured elements first • Bootstrap synergistically • Extract from semi-structured elements • Learn extraction ontologies • Extract from plain text
