Formal Classification and Ontology Sample Clauses

Formal Classification and Ontology. ‌ In today’s information society, as the amount of information grows larger, it becomes essential to develop efficient ways to summarize and navigate information from large, multivariate data sets. The field of classification supports these tasks, as it investigates how sets of ”objects” can be summarized into a small number of classes, and it also provides methods to assist the search of such ”objects” [2]. In the past centuries, classification has been the domain of librarians and archivists. Lately a lot of interest has focused also on the management of the information present in the web: see for instance the WWW Virtual Library project15, or directories of search engines like Google, or Yahoo! Standard classification methodologies amount to manually organizing topics into hierarchies. Hierarchical library classification systems, such as the Xxxxx Decimal Classification System (DDC)16 or the Library of Congress classification system (LCC)17, are attempts to develop static, hierarchical classification structures into which all of human knowledge can be classified. ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) has published a computing classification system18 for the computing field. Although these are standard and universal techniques, they have a number of lim- itations. Classifications describe their contents using natural language labels, an approach which has proved very effective in manual classification. However natural language labels show their limitations when one tries to automate the process, as they make it almost impossible to reason about classifications and their contents. An ontology is a formal representation of a set of concepts within a domain and the relation- ships between those concepts. It is used to reason about the attributes or metadata of that domain, and may be used to define the domain. Ontologies are used in artificial intelligence, the Semantic Web, software engineering, biomedical informatics, library science, and information architecture as a form of knowledge representation about the world or some part of it. When dealing with classifications, an innovative method [104] is to formalize and encode the classifications into lightweight ontologies [105]. And then, to reason about them, to associate to each node a normal form formula which uniquely describes its contents, and to reduce document classification and query answering to reasoning about subsumption. When dealing with classifications, an innovative method [104] is to fo...
