Abstract

Most Semantic Web technology-based applications need users to have a deep background on the formal underpinnings of ontology languages and some basic skills in these technologies. Generally, only experts in the field meet these requirements. In this paper, we present OWLPath, a natural language-query editor guided by multilanguage OWL-formatted ontologies. This application allows nonexpert users to easily create SPARQL queries that can be issued over most existing ontology storage systems. Our approach is a fully fledged solution backed with a proof-of-concept implementation and the empirical results of two challenging use cases: one in the domain of e-finance and the other in e-tourism.

Optimizing SPARQL query answering over OWL ontologies
Ilianna Kollia

The SPARQL query language is currently being extended by W3C with so-called entailment regimes, which define how queries are evaluated under more expressive semantics than SPARQL's standard simple entailment. We describe a sound and complete algorithm for the OWL Direct Semantics entailment regime. The queries of the regime are very expressive since variables can occur within complex class expressions and can also bind to class or property names. We propose several novel optimizations such as strategies for determining a good query execution order, query rewriting techniques, and show how specialized OWL reasoning tasks and the class and property hierarchy can be used to reduce the query execution time. We provide a prototypical implementation and evaluate the efficiency of the proposed optimizations. For standard conjunctive queries our system performs comparably to already deployed systems. For complex queries an improvement of up to three orders of magnitude can be observed.

Expressive languages for querying the semantic web
Marcelo Arenas

The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is the W3C recommendation data model to represent information about World Wide Web resources. An atomic piece of data in RDF is a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). In the RDF data model, URIs are organized as RDF graphs, that is, labeled directed graphs where node labels and edge labels are URIs. The problem of querying RDF data is a central issue for the development of the Semantic Web. The query language SPARQL has become the standard language for querying RDF, since its standardization in 2008 [8]. However, the 2008 version of this language missed some important functionalities, and in particular, reasoning capabilities to deal with RDF Schema (RDFS) [2] and Ontology Web Language (OWL) [6] vocabularies, that is, vocabularies with predefined semantics which can be used to derive logical conclusions from RDF graphs. To overcome these limitations, a new version of SPARQL, called SPARQL 1.1 [5], was recently released, which includes entailment regimes for RDFS and OWL vocabularies.

Ontology-Based Translation of Natural Language Queries to SPARQL
Mikhail Roshchin

We present an implemented approach to transform natural language sentences into SPARQL, using background knowledge from ontologies and lexicons. Therefore, eligible technologies and data storage possibilities are analyzed and evaluated. The contributions of this paper are twofold. Firstly, we describe the motivation and current needs for a natural language access to industry data. We describe several scenarios where the proposed solution is required. Resulting in an architectural approach based on automatic SPARQL query construction for effective natural language queries. Secondly, we analyze the performance of RDBMS, RDF and Triple Stores for the knowledge representation. The proposed approach will be evaluated on the basis of a query catalog by means of query efficiency, accuracy, and data storage performance. The results show, that natural language access to industry data using ontologies and lexicons, is a simple but effective approach to improve the diagnosis process and the data search for a broad range of users. Furthermore, virtual RDF graphs do support the DB-driven knowledge graph representation process, but do not perform efficient under industry conditions in terms of performance and scalability.

Querying the Semantic Web with SWRL
Mark Musen

Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2007

The SWRLTab is a development environment for working with SWRL rules in Protégé-OWL. It supports the editing and execution of SWRL rules. It also provides mechanisms to allow interoperation with a variety of rule engines and the incorporation of user-defined libraries of methods that can be used in rules. Several built-in libraries are provided, include collections of mathematical, string, and temporal operators, in addition to operators than can be used to effectively turn SWRL into a query language. This language provides a simple but powerful means of extracting information from OWL ontologies. Used in association with a relational data importation tool that we have developed called DataMaster, this query language can be also used to express knowledge-level queries on data imported from relational databases.

Towards a Visual SPARQL-DL Query Builder
Laura Cecchi

2018

Querying ontologies is an every-day activity that users need. This interaction will improve when the query is more expressive and easier to develop. For this purpose, a visual query language is an ideal mean for users and ontology engineers for creating queries taking advantage of the easy-to-understand and low time and cost characteristics, specially, for users which does not know textual query languages. On the other side, SPARQL-DL is a powerful and expressive textual query language for OWL-DL based ontologies that can combine TBox/ABox/RBox queries. Considering the advantage of both, we present in this work a visual query language that can be interpreted as SPARQL-DL sentences and thus being used for querying ontologies for its structure and/or instance information. Altogether, we use this idea to create a modified version of crowd, a Web modelling tool with reasoning support, that enables to implement and tests the presented graphical language along with the needed SPARQL-DL su...

From SHIQ and RDF to OWL: The making of a web ontology language
Ian Horrocks

2003

The OWL Web Ontology Language is a new formal language for representing ontologies in the Semantic Web. OWL has features from several families of representation languages, including primarily Description Logics and frames. OWL also shares many characteristics with RDF, the W3C base of the Semantic Web. In this paper, we discuss how the philosophy and features of OWL can be traced back to these older formalisms, with modifications driven by several other constraints on OWL.

A SPARQL Query Engine over Web Ontologies using Contextual Logic Programming
Salvador Abreu

Abstract. Querying is one of the key aspects in the Semantic Web. SPARQL, a W3C recommendation, attempts to become the standard Web query language. The XPTO system is capable of representing and querying ontologies described in the OWL language using Contextual Logic Programming. Here is presented a component of the XPTO system that enables answering SPARQL queries.

Creating and Querying Linguistically Motivated Ontologies
Mithun Patel

This paper argues that a formal ontology (in our case a description logic knowledge base) should be created in a linguistically motivated way so that it can be queried easily by non-specialists. This can best be achieved by using a strict naming convention that is based on those linguistic expressions that occur in the application domain for which the ontology will be created. We will see that ABox and TBox statements that closely follow this naming convention can be written directly in a controlled natural language and that the same controlled natural language can be used to query the description logic knowledge base. Both ABox and TBox statements written in controlled natural language are translated automatically into the Knowledge Representation System Specification (KRSS) syntax and questions are translated into RacerPro's new query language nRQL and answered over the description logic knowledge base. Using a controlled natural language as a high-level interface language abstracts away from any formal notation and allows for true collaboration between humans and machines.

OWL for the Masses: From Structured OWL to Unstructured Technically-Neutral Natural Language
Ilias Sakellariou

Informatics, 2009. BCI'09. …, 2009

The Web Ontology Language (OWL) is one of the fundamental blocks for realizing the Semantic Web vision, since it allows to represent probably the most difficult component of the latter; knowledge regarding the concepts of domain of discourse, i.e. ontologies. Unfortunately, its expressive power goes in hand with a rather verbose syntax, difficult to be understood by non-technical users, and thus leading to difficulties in validation and verification of the represented knowledge. A translation tool from OWL to some form of natural language could significantly assist users towards such tasks. Such a tool requires correctly interpreting the ontology constructs, representing highly nested ontologies, and forming logical sentences. This paper presents an innovative approach to directly translating RDF/XML based structured ontology into error free concise natural language text akin to English.

OntoQuer: A Tool for Building SPARQL Query Automatically Applying with Our Ontologies
Chiranut Sa-ngiamsak

2017

The aim of this paper is to retrieve results efficiently from 3 related ontologies using a new tool based on SPARQL: “OntoQuer”. OntoQuer consists of 6 menus designed to cover all searches from users. The highlight of OntoQuer is that users can obtain results without any background in SPARQL syntax. OntoQuer compiles at each step in a simple way. The outstanding advantages of OntoQuer are the system can automatically create SPARQL query to find the results and able to validate the correction of syntax. OntoQuer simply proceeds the data in Resource Description Framework (RDF) and the Web Ontology Language (OWL). In addition, the current search with Thai-English transliterated words does not support foreign tourists. The existence of OntoQuer can solve the mentioned problem. The implementation of OntoQuer was designed with 3 newly-developed ontologies (Tourism ontology, Language ontology and UserProfile ontology) to tackle this issue with the case study of Phuket tourism. The ontologi...

A text-based query interface to owl ontologies
Danica Damljanovic

2008

Abstract Accessing structured data in the form of ontologies requires training and learning formal query languages (eg, SeRQL or SPARQL) which poses significant difficulties for non-expert users. One of the ways to lower the learning overhead and make ontology queries more straightforward is through a Natural Language Interface (NLI). While there are existing NLIs to structured data with reasonable performance, they tend to require expensive customisation to each new domain or ontology.

Sparql-dl: Sparql query for owl-dl
Bijan Parsia

3rd OWL Experiences and Directions Workshop ( …, 2007

There are many query languages (QLs) that can be used to query RDF and OWL ontologies but neither type is satisfactory for querying OWL-DL ontologies. RDF-based QLs (RDQL, SeRQL, SPARQL) are harder to give a semantics w.r.t. OWL-DL and are more powerful than what OWL-DL reasoners can provide. DL-based QLs (DIG ask queries, nRQL) have clear semantics but are not powerful enough in the general case. In this paper we describe SPARQL-DL, a substantial subset of SPARQL for which we provide a clear OWL-DL based semantics. SPARQL-DL is significantly more expressive than existing DL QLs (by allowing mixed TBox/RBox/ABox queries) and can still be implemented without too much effort on top of existing OWL-DL reasoners. We discuss design decisions and practical issues that arise for defining SPARQL-DL and report about our preliminary prototype implemented on top of OWL-DL reasoner Pellet.
