  1. Marking and Exploring Taxonomic Concept Data Paul Craig Martin Graham Jessie Kennedy Centre for Information and Software Systems School of Computing Napier University, Edinburgh, UK

  2. What We Do • We develop graphical user interfaces that contrast multiple classifications

  3. Matching By Hand… • Matching taxa by hand is extremely difficult & time-consuming, even with small data sets

  4. Matching by Name… • Our interfaces can automatically match between classifications by name

  5. Matching by Concept • Same names don’t mean the same things in different taxonomies… they are different concepts • Thus synonymy, homonymy etc • Taxonomic Concept Schema (TCS) includes mechanisms for defining relationships between concepts

  6. Matching by Concept • To get this data in though requires an expert to assess and mark up the relationships in TCS

  7. Matching by Concept • To get this data in though requires an expert to assess and mark up the relationships in TCS

  8. Making Concept Relations • So we developed a drag & drop interface to allow experts to build relationship sets between classifications • Takes in a TCS data file • User picks a pair of classifications • User chooses a relationship type • Drag between concepts to connect

  9. Two Classifications Relationship being made Related Concepts Existing Concept Relations Making Concept Relations Concept

  10. Matching By Concept • VIDEO

  11. Viewing Concept Relationships • Relationships between two taxonomies can be viewed in the relationship creation tool • To view across multiple taxonomies simultaneously we adapted our multiple classification browser

  12. Viewing Concept Relationships • Takes in a TCS data file • Shows all classifications • User navigates or selects a concept • Hovering with the mouse reveals relationships • Marking (colouring) highlights those related concepts and also those related to its child concepts

  13. Viewing Concept Relationships Related concepts Concept relations Concept under investigation

  14. Viewing Concept Relationships • VIDEO

  15. Conclusions • We can generate TCS relationships between classifications • We can show TCS relationships between classifications • The effectiveness of the tools with regard to these relationships is still unknown • We need your help!
