| description | Semantic web is an extension of the current web in which the existing information on
the web are organized and encoded more meaningfully using ontology language, thus
enabling effective communication among machines and humans. Ontology is the
backbone of the semantic web that contributes to knowledge sharing among intended
parties over distributed systems around the world. In the past few years, semantic web
has been widely accepted by a variety of fields for better knowledge representation,
communication, sharing and reasoning on the web. Now, there are existing genealogical
ontologies proposed by different groups of researchers once semantic web has emerged
as third generation of the web. However, existing ontologies still lack certain important
concepts and properties to support the domain of family relations. This may lead to the
inability of the ontology to deliver full potential of exchanging family history
information among all interested parties. Moreover, existing ontologies do not employ
the full potential of SWRL rules to reason the individuals within the ontology. The main
aim of this research is to build a new Family Ontology which obeys the consistency
criteria. Consistency checking ensures there are no contradictory concepts found within
the resulting ontology. The consistency of Family Ontology will be evaluated using
FACT++, HermiT and Pellet reasoners. By augmenting the additional axioms and
testing the resulting ontology thoroughly using reasoner tools, the proposed Family
Ontology is expected to achieve a consistency of 100%.This research is meaningful and
significant to all humans since everyone has his or her own unique family history. The
proposed ontology also facilitates effective and efficient communication among all
intended parties since shared vocabularies and standards are employed by the proposed
ontology. |
