  3. Modular Ontologies • What is modular ontology? • An ontology that contains a set of smaller, (semantically) connected component ontologies • Why modular ontology ? • A Distributed Semantic Web • Collaborative Ontology Building (COB) • Selective Ontology Reuse • Large Ontology Storage and Reasoning International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) 2006. Doctoral Consortium Track, Nov 5, 2006 Athens, GA 3

  4. A Distributed Semantic Web Berners-Lee, T., Hendler, J., and Lassila, O. (2001).The semantic web. Scientific American, 284(5):34-43. International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) 2006. Doctoral Consortium Track, Nov 5, 2006 Athens, GA 4

  5. Collaborative building of an animal trait ontology that involves multiple research groups across the world Swine Horse Each group works on an ontology module for a particular species (according to the group’s best expertise) Cattle Chicken A COB Example International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) 2006. Doctoral Consortium Track, Nov 5, 2006 Athens, GA 5

  6. Ontology Languages Needed • Has localized semantics • Allows distributed reasoning • Supports fine-grained ontology organizational structure • Allows partial ontology reuse • Supports selective knowledge hiding • Enables collaborative and scalable tools International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) 2006. Doctoral Consortium Track, Nov 5, 2006 Athens, GA 6

  7. Modular Ontology Languages Today 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 DDL based CTXWL C-OWL ? OWL E-Connections (E-connection can also work other logics e.g. modal logic) (to be discussed at the WoMO workshop) P-DL Our approach International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) 2006. Doctoral Consortium Track, Nov 5, 2006 Athens, GA 7

  8. Pet owns PetOwner (onto) • Distributed Description Logics (DDL)& C-OWL • Allows “bridge rules” between concepts across ontology modules Pet Animal Dog • E-Connections • Connects DL modules with special types of roles called “links” (into) Modular Ontology Languages Today (2) International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) 2006. Doctoral Consortium Track, Nov 5, 2006 Athens, GA 8

  9. Expressivity Comparison [Baot et al. ASWC 2006] International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) 2006. Doctoral Consortium Track, Nov 5, 2006 Athens, GA 9

  10. Open problems • How to obtain stronger expressiveness? • How to enable distributed reasoning without required global knowledge? • How to ensure the reasoning exactness w.r.t. standard reasoning with integrated ontology? • How to create modular ontologies?

  12. Animal ontology Dog General General Pet PetDog Pet Wild Livestock Package • Packages of an ontology • Are defined in subsets of the same decidable DL,e.g., SHOIQ • May contain both local terms and imported terms; • Each term has a home package • P :Package extension • PC: Package extension with only concept name importing • E.g., SHOIQP= SHOIQ +P ALCPC = ALC + PC International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) 2006. Doctoral Consortium Track, Nov 5, 2006 Athens, GA 12

  13. O1 (General Animal) O2 (Pet) It uses ALCP, but not ALCPC Package: Example International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) 2006. Doctoral Consortium Track, Nov 5, 2006 Athens, GA 13

  14. P3 P P 2 2 private private public public P P 1 1 Ongoing work: Scope Limitation • SLM of an ontology term or axiom t • is a boolean function that defines the visible scope of a term or axiom. • Example SLMs • Public(t,r): t is accessible from anywhere • Private(t,r): t is only available in the home package International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) 2006. Doctoral Consortium Track, Nov 5, 2006 Athens, GA 14

Doctoral Consortium Track, Nov 5, 2006 Athens, GA 19

  20. P-DL Semantics Features • Localized Semantics • Local “top” concepts are not the same • Each package explains the world based on its transitive importing closure (local point of view). • Stronger expressivity • Supports both inter-module concept subsumption and inter-module role usage. • Decidable (when all modules are from the same decidable DL) • Solves some reasoning diffculities in other approaches International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) 2006. Doctoral Consortium Track, Nov 5, 2006 Athens, GA 20

  22. Reasoning for Modular Ontology • Major Consideration: should not require the integration of ontology modules. • High communication cost • High local memory cost • May violate module autonomy, e.g., privacy • Question: can we do reasoning for P-DL without • (syntactic level) an integrated ontology ? • (semantic level) a (materialized) global tableau ? International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) 2006. Doctoral Consortium Track, Nov 5, 2006 Athens, GA 22

  23. Stan: Hey, Chef. Is Kyle’s new home far from us? Cartman: San Francisco, I guess. Distributed Reasoning Stan: So they are far from us. Too Bad. Chef: Hello there, children! Where does Kyle move to? • Chef: • We are in South Park, Colorado; • San Francisco is in California; • Colorado is far from California. International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) 2006. Doctoral Consortium Track, Nov 5, 2006 Athens, GA 23

  24. Federated Reasoning for P-DL Basic strategy • Use multiple local reasoners, each for a single package • Each local reasoner creates and maintains a local tableau based on (only) local knowledge • A local reasoner may query other reasoners if its local knowledge is incomplete • Global relation among tableaux is created by messages (1) (4) (3) (2) International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) 2006. Doctoral Consortium Track, Nov 5, 2006 Athens, GA 24

  27. More complex situations [Bao & Honavar, WI2006] • Cyclic name importing • Asynchronous parallel reasoning [Bao etal, (to be submitted)] • Role, nominal importing • Component languages in SHOIQ International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) 2006. Doctoral Consortium Track, Nov 5, 2006 Athens, GA 27

  28. Ongoing: Concealable Reasoning • A reasoner should not expose hidden knowledge • However, such hidden knowledge may still be (indirectly) used in safe queries. Yes Queries Unknown International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) 2006. Doctoral Consortium Track, Nov 5, 2006 Athens, GA 28

  30. Collaborative Ontology Building Ontology modularity facilitates collaborative building • Each package can be independently developed • Multiple users can concurrently edit the ontology on different packages • Ontology can be only partially loaded • Unwanted interactions are minimized by limiting term and axiom visibility International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) 2006.
