Ontology Engineering Sample Clauses

Ontology Engineering. During a contract agreement a variety of explicit and implicit information is ex- changed between stakeholders. Explicit information include contracting clauses, signatures and relevant documentation. Implicit information usually includes communication and risk analysis that begins before a contract is drafted. Our challenge is the question: how to make implicit information explicit? To address this challenge, we perform a quick scan in the set of answers to the question: how can Data Science (DS) and AI help us? DS and AI present three available options related to (1) Machine Learning (ML), (2) Relational- Data Models (RDM) and (3) ontology engineering. The three options present different advantages and disadvantages to address our challenge. First, let us consider a Machine Learning approach. When can an unsuper- vised ML algorithm be applied to any available contract data? The main obsta- cle is that such data are hard, so it might be impossible, to identify, find or obtain relevant data [Zeleznikow, 2023]. Second, a Relational-Data Model can be devel- oped that handles various data sources and their connections. However, such a model may be limited for the application of AI [Xxxxxxxxx et al., 2012, Xxxxxx, 2018]. Third, ontology engineering is an option. Ontologies show how it is pos- sible to handle interconnected data sources with a great variety of data types, by creating semantic specifications (see further description in benefits Section below). (1) There is high conceptual complexity involved in making implicit data explicit. (2) We are facing multiple unknown information regarding the number and intercon- nected nature of data sources. 14See for example: . xxxxx://xxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxx.xxx/model-contracts/ Let us start with the benefits. Ontologies are able to support the structuring of data in a scientific manner [Xxxx et al., 2017]. The benefits of developing an ontology relate to interoperability, standardisation, conceptualisation, inferential reasoning and information retrieval. For a proper characterisation we would like to emphasise the difference be- tween an ontology and a relational database. The former can be seen to use ”spoken-language” driven by a dictionary for communication while the latter uses ”body-language” without a dictionary for communication. Moreover, an ontology is (1) extendable, (2) can support additional solutions and (3) may clarify limitations. An ontology is able to serve as the backbone of an explainable intelligent ...
