Challenging Problems

Infeasible to understand all the ontology schema of linked data sets.
Ontology heterogeneity problem
Heterogeneous ontology classes
DBpedia: http://dbpedia.org/ontology/Country.
Geonames: http://www.geonames.org/ontology#A.PCLI.
LinkedMDB: http://data.linkedmdb.org/resource/movie/country.
Heterogeneous ontology predicates
http://dbpedia.org/property/populationTotal.
http://dbpedia.org/property/population.
Time-consuming and infeasible to inspect large ontologies
Misuse of classes and predicates
DBpedia: 320 classes and thousands of predicates.


Solution for the Problems

Automatically or semi-automatically integrate diﬀerent ontologies
by analyzing interlinked instances.
Semi-automatic ontology integration
Reduce the ontology heterogeneity.
Identify important ontology classes and predicates that link instances.
Easy to understand simple integrated ontology.
Simplify the queries on various data sets.

Our Approach


Step 1: Graph Pattern Extraction


Graph Pattern Extraction
Extract graph patterns from interlinked instances to discover
related ontology classes and predicates.
SameAs Graph SG = (V, E, I), V is a set of labels of data sets, E
⊆ V × V, I is a set of URIs of the interlinked instances.

Example: SGAustria = (V, E, I)
V = {D, G, N, M}
E = {(D,G), (D,N), (G,N), (G,M)}
I = { db:Austria, geo:2782113, nyt:66221058161318373601,
mdb-country:AT}.

Step 2: <Predicate, Object> Collection


<Predicate, Object> Collection

An instance has a collection of <subject, predicate, object>.
(instance URI → subject, property → predicate, class → object)
<predicate, object> (PO) pairs as the content of a SameAs Graph.
Classify PO pairs into ﬁve types
Class: rdf:type and skos:inScheme.
Date: XMLSchema:date, gYear, gMonthDay, etc.
Number: XMLSchema:integer, int, ﬂoat, double, etc.
URI: starts with “http://” and XMLSchema:anyURI.
String: XMLSchema:string and Others.


An Example of Collected PO pairs

Table: PO pairs and types for SGAustria
Predicate Object Type
rdf:type owl:Thing Class
rdf:type db-onto:Place Class
rdf:type db-onto:PopulatedPlace Class
rdf:type db-onto:Country Class
rdfs:label “Austria”@en String
db-onto:wikiPageExternalLink http://www.austria.mu/ URI
db-prop:populationEstimate 8356707 Number
...... ...... ......
geo-onto:name Austria String
geo-onto:alternateName “Austria”@en String
geo-onto:alternateName “Republic of Austria”@en String
geo-onto:featureClass geo-onto:A Class
geo-onto:featureCode geo-onto:A.PCLI Class
geo-onto:population 8205000 Number
...... ...... ......
rdf:type mdb:country Class
mdb:country name Austria String
...... ...... ......
skos:inScheme nyt:nytd geo Class
skos:prefLabel “Austria”@en String
nyt-prop:ﬁrst use 2004-10-04 Date


Step 3: Related Classes and Predicates Grouping


Related Classes Grouping

Group related classes from each SameAs Graph by tracking
subsumption relations owl:subClassOf and skos:inScheme.
< C1 owl:subClassOf C2 > or < C1 skos:inScheme C2 > means the
concept of class C1 is more speciﬁc than the concept of class C2 .


Related Predicates Grouping
Perform pairwise comparison on <predicate, object> (PO) pairs to
ﬁnd out related predicates (properties).
Discover related predicates using diﬀerent methods for the
types of Date, URI, Number, and String.
Date, URI: exact matching.
Number, String: exact matching + similarity matching.
Exact matching on PO pairs to create initial sets of PO pairs.
If OPOi = OPOj or PPOi = PPOj
⇒ Sk ← POi , POj
OPO : the object of PO.
PPO : the predicate of PO.
S: Initial set of PO pairs.


Similarity matching on PO pairs of type Number and String.
Similarity between POi and POj .

ObjSim(POi , POj ) + PreSim(POi , POj )
Sim(POi , POj ) =
2
Merge similar initial sets Si and Sj .

if Sim(POi , POj ) ≥ θ, where POi ∈ Si , POj ∈ Sj


Similarity of objects between two PO pairs.
|OPOi −OPOj |
1− OPOi +OPOj if OPO is Number
ObjSim(POi , POj ) =
StrSim(OPOi , OPOj ) if OPO is String

OPO : the object of PO.
StrSim(OPOi , OPOj ): the average of the three string-based similarity
values JaroWinkler, Levenshtein distance, and n-gram.
Similarity of predicates between POi and POj
PreSim(POi , POj ) = WNSim(TPOi , TPOj )

TPO : the pre-processed terms of the predicates in PO.
WNSim(TPOi , TPOj ): the average of the nine applied WordNet-based
similarity values.

Step 4: Integration for All Graph Patterns


Integration for All Graph Patterns
Groups of related classes and predicates are independent for each
graph pattern. Hence, we integrate them for all the graph patterns
to construct an integrated ontology.
Select terms for integrated ontology.
ex-onto:ClassTerm: select one concept from a set of classes.
ex-prop:propTerm: select one concept from a set of predicates.
Construct relations.
ex-prop:hasMemberClasses: link sets of classes with
ex-onto:ClassTerm.
ex-prop:hasMemberDataTypes: link sets of predicates with
ex-prop:propTerm.
Construct an integrated ontology.
Sets of related classes and predicates.
Selected terms: ClassTerm and propTerm.
Constructed relations.

Step 5: Manual Revision


Manual Revision

Minor revision process on the automatically constructed ontology.
Modify incorrect terms
Not all the terms of classes and predicates are properly selected.
Add domain information
About 40% of the predicate sets lack of rdfs:domain information.
Modify incorrectly grouped classes and predicates
We can not guarantee 100% accuracy.


Experiments

Analyze the characteristics of linked instances with the integrated
ontology constructed with our approach.
Experimental Data


Experimental Data

DBpedia: cross-domain, 3.5 million things, 8.9 million URIs.
Geonames: geographical domain, 7 million URIs.
NYTimes: media domain, 10,467 subject news.
LinkedMDB: media domain, 0.5 million entities.


13 graph patterns

Frequent graph patterns:
GP1, GP2, GP3

N,G,D: GP4, GP5, GP7, GP8

N,M,D: GP6

M,G,D: GP9

M,D,N,G: GP10, GP11,
GP12, GP13


Successfully integrated related classes from extracted graph patters.
Characteristics of graph patterns
Class Type Graph Pattern
Actor GP2 , GP6
Person(Athlete, Politician, etc) GP3
Organization/Agent GP1 , GP3 , GP8
Film GP2
City/Settlement GP1 , GP4 , GP5 , GP7 , GP8
Country GP9 , GP10 , GP11 , GP12 , GP13
Place(Mountain, River, etc) GP1 , GP3 , GP7

Integrated 97 classes into 48 groups
Example: ex-onto:Country
db-onto:Country geo-onto:A.PCLI
mdb:country nyt:nytd geo



Discover missing class information
Example: db:Shingo Katori
db:Shingo Katori rdf:type dbpedia-owl:MusicalArtist.
mdb-actor:27092 owl:sameAs db:Shingo Katori
Therefore, db:Shingo Katori rdf:type db-onto:Actor.
Main classes of each data set.
NYTimes: person, organization, and place.
LinkedMDB: movie, actor, and country.
Geonames: A(country, administrative region), P (city, settlement), T
(mountain), S (building, school), and H (Lake, river).
DBpedia: person (artist, politician, athlete), organization (company,
educational institute, sports team), work (ﬁlm), and place (populated
place, natural place, architectural structure).


Integrated 367 predicates into 38 groups
Example: ex-prop:birthDate
Predicate Number of Instances
db-onto:birthDate 287,327
db-prop:datebirth 1,675
db-prop:dateofbirth 87,364
db-prop:dateOfBirth 163,876
db-prop:born 34,832
db-prop:birthdate 70,630
db-prop:birthDate 101,121
Recommend standard predicates
<db-onto:birthDate, rdfs:domain, db-onto:Person>
“db-onto:birthDate” has the highest frequency of usage


Comparison with Previous Work

Compare our ontology integration approach with the mid-ontology
approach [Zhao, et al., JIST2011].

Mid-Ontology approach Our approach
A hub data for data collection. No hub data.
String-based similarity measures Diﬀerent similarity measures for
for all types of objects. diﬀerent types of objects.
105 predicates in 22 groups. 367 predicates into 38 groups.
No classes 97 classes into 48 groups


Conclusion and Future Work

Conclusion
Integrate heterogeneous ontologies from various data sets.
Identify the characteristics of graph patterns using the integrated
ontology classes.
Recommend standard predicates using the integrated ontology
predicates.
Reduce the heterogeneity of ontologies.
Construct an integrated ontology without learning the entire ontology
schema.
Future Work
Use more data sets in the LOD cloud.
Apply MapReduce method to solve scalability and ontology
heterogeneity problem.
