Abstract

Ontologies are an important tool in knowledge representation. Currently, one of the most popular languages to model ontologies is the Web Ontology Language (OWL). Such language is in its second version (OWL 2), which was designed to overcome some issues in expressivity, syntax, semantics and other practical aspects of the previous version. However, it still lacks some constructs that would be useful in some domains and situations. One of such constructs is what could be called “universal relationship” (i.e. a relationship with maximal degree of universality, so that, if established between two classes, states that every individual of a class is related to every individual of the other by this particular relationship). Therefore, this work brings an ontology design pattern to address such modeling issue. It requires OWL 2 features to be implemented, but dispenses any other external resources to handle the problem. The article presents the structure of the pattern and its implementation steps, as well as an example from the biomedical field.

表示通用关系的本体设计模式

本体是知识表示的重要工具。目前，最流行的本体建模语言之一是Web本体语言(OWL)。这种语言的第二个版本(owl2)旨在克服前一个版本在表达性、语法、语义和其他实用方面的一些问题。然而，它仍然缺乏一些在某些领域和情况下有用的结构。其中一种结构可以被称为“普遍关系”(即具有最大程度普遍性的关系，因此，如果在两个阶级之间建立起来，则表明一个阶级的每个个体都通过这种特殊关系与另一个阶级的每个个体联系在一起)。因此，本文提出了一种本体设计模式来解决这类建模问题。它要求实现owl2特性，但分配任何其他外部资源来处理问题。本文介绍了该模式的结构和实现步骤，并给出了生物医学领域的一个实例。
