Semantic Web-based KMS The Semantic Web is a next generation of the Web which formally defines the relations among terms with ontologies, gives well-defined meaning to information, and enables machines to comprehend the content on the Web (Berners-Lee, Hendler, & Lassila 2001). Semantic Web-based Knowledge Management Systems enable the next generation of KMS –Applies semantic web technologies to improve on traditional knowledge-management approaches or realize emerging knowledge-services requirements (Davies, Lytras, & Sheth 2007) –Schemas are represented as ontologies (O) and data is SW instance data (D)

Data Evaluation in SW-based KMS: State of the Art In SW-based KMS, instance data often accounts for orders of magnitude more data than ontology (Ding & Finin 2006). However most data evaluation work (Rocha et al. 1998) focuses on ontology evaluation, i.e., checking whether the ontologies correctly describe the domain of interest. There is very little, if any, work on evaluating the conformance between ontologies and instance data.
4
1. Create KMS schema as ontologies O (including embedded semantic expectations) Web O O D D 3. Instantiate KMS ontologies 4. Publish KMS instance data D O O 2. Acquire KMS ontologies Do semantic expectations match between O and D? No syntax errors? Instance Data Evaluation in SW-based KMS Semantic expectation mismatches: (i) Logical inconsistencies (ii) Potential issues
5
Generic Evaluation Process (GEP) Load instance data D –Is loading failing? Parse instance data D –Is D syntactically correct? Load referenced ontologies O = {O 1,O 2, …} –Is O i reachable? where O i defines the terms used by D. Inspect logical inconsistencies in D –Is O i logically consistent? –Merge all consistent referenced ontologies into O' –Are D+O’ logically consistent? Inspect potential issues in D –Compute DC = INF(D,O') which includes all triples in D and O', and all inferred sub-class/sub-property relations –Is there any potential issue in D?

Potential Issues Unexpected Individual Type (UIT) Issue –rdfs:domain –rdfs:range –owl:allValuesFrom Redundant Individual Type (RIT) Issue Non-specific Individual Type (NSIT) Issue Missing Property Value (MPV) Issue –owl:cardinality –owl:minCardinality Excessive Property Value (EPV) Issue –owl:cardinality –owl:maxCardinality
7
Graph Patterns of Potential Issues Example: Missing Property Value Issue Make sure all instances of wine have a Maker specified

SPARQL Solutions for Potential Issue Detection Example: MPV Issue
