1. Independent Study of Ontologies
CIS 890
Independent Study of Ontologies

2. Basic Goals Study basic concepts in Ontologies
Implementing out an Ontology on a tool for Ontologies
To cover the vast breadth of topics influenced by Ontologies

3. Purpose of Learning Ontologies
Share an understanding of the structure of information among people and software.
Enable reuse of knowledge.
Formal analysis of the terms and the domain as a whole.
Make explicit domain assumptions underlying an implementation
Differentiate between domain knowledge and operational knowledge using any domain ontology

4. Formal Definition of Ontologies
General
Ontology is the study of a concept in reality and the nature of any being.

5. Ontology Basics Individuals Classes (concepts) Partitions Attributes
Relationships

6. Ontology Tools Protégé Loom OOP’s Ontology in Protégé
-- Understanding Software Engineering
-- Understanding the usability of Ontology Tools( Protégé Specifically )
-- Understanding the various objects in Ontologies and Ontology tools ( specifically Protégé)

7. Ontologies in Software Engineering
Basic Purpose
Investigate the relationship between UML diagrams and Ontologies in Software Development.
Investigate the existence of any Software model describing framework to transform Ontology grammar to UML

8. Ontologies as Software Artifacts
Basic Purpose
Study the use of Ontologies as Software Artifacts at development time for the analysis, design, verification, validation of software

9. Cost & Complexity of Ontologies
Basic Purpose
Investigate different cost models
Check if there are similarities in the Cost models presently available
Investigate any complexity rules for Ontologies
Check if there are similarities and differences in complexity model presently available

10. Impact of Modern AI on Ontologies
Basic Purpose
Learn more about Ontology Agents
Check to see how they are related to Aritificial Intelligence
Ontology Agent Technologies include:
ontology-based semantic webs
ontology-based information retrieval systems
adaptive and ontology-based expert systems and expert agents
Different Ontology Agent tools
OntoSeek
Text-To-Onto

11. Ontologies in Data Mining
Basic Purpose
Focus on learning the use of Ontologies in the field of Data Mining
Looked at some example projects to check the work flow of the use of Ontologies for Data Mining

12. Ontologies in Specific fields
Bio-informatics
Physics
Chemistry
Life Sciences
Food Science

13. Summary Strengthened the understanding of basic concept of Ontologies.
Ventured into unknown territory to read more about application of Ontologies in Software engineering and to undertsand cost and complexity models.
Learnt the work flow in the use of Ontologies for Data Mining.
