该文讨论了目前现有数据库汉语查询系统中的存在问题,根据关系数据库中数据表示与自然语言(汉语)查询句的语义模型不同,提出了数据库汉语查询时隐含知识的查询,对数据库中的隐含知识以概念图来表示,从而建立了自然语言和数据库查询命令SQL语言的直接联系。实现了这种数据库隐含知识查询的实验系统,从一定程度上提高了数据库汉语查询的智能性。     

SQL语言的形式语义

对SQL查询的形式语义的研究有助于形式地证明两条SQL语句是否等价,从而消除了自然语言的二义性.SQL标准对SQL的语义规则进行了定义,但是并没有很好地处理不完全信息问题.文中以中介逻辑谓词演算系统MFM为基础,构造一个形式的三值谓词演算模型EPMC,然后通过语法转化规则把SQL查询转化为EPMC,从而完整地定义了SQL查询的形式语义.

基于Ontology的Web信息检索系统研究

传统的信息检索技术以关键字匹配为主,缺乏语义推理能力,对用户的查询请求没有提供语义制导,因此造成信息的误检、漏检.将Ontology用于Web信息检索,分析了Ontology的语义表达能力,提出了基于Ontology的信息检索系统模型(MIRSO).MIRSO能够对用户提供语义制导,将用户的查询条件映射为领域Ontology的概念和关系,使用户的需求表达和信息内容精确匹配.实验结果表明,该方法能够提高信息检索系统的查准率.     

自适应的数据库查询缓存

传统的缓存采取较为机械的管理方法,不能随数据库运行的动态信息调整自身参数以得到更优的性能。数据库语义缓存能够让数据库“理解”查询语义,可以为数据库的动态调节提供信息。而查询缓存是语义缓存的一种,在 SQL解析与查询执行之间,通过研究查询缓存的自主管理来提高数据库的查询性能。首先介绍了数据库常用的语义缓存与自主计算,然后对查询缓存进行了形式化定义,并提出了自适应的查询缓存模型。最后在MySQL的查询缓存上进行了实验,得到了较好的效果。     

基于领域本体和关系模型的XML语义集成方法研究

由于缺乏足够的语义信息,不同模式的XML数据之间很难进行互操作。针对油气井工程中的XML数据集成需求,借助领域全局本体,提出一种模式无关的XML语义集成方法。该方法首先在XML Path路径与领域本体之间进行语义映射,屏蔽其模式差异;然后,按照模型映射方法将XML存储为关系数据;最后通过查询重写将SPARQL转换为SQL语句,实现语义查询。该方法对XML模式进行语义标注,利用关系数据库存储与查询XML数据,能有效处理领域XML数据的语义集成。

RDF查询语言到SQL语言的转换原理及其实现方法

RDF查询语言的优点是具有语义性，缺点是对于海量信息的存储和查找的效率都很低．而关系数据库对海量信息的存储和查找的效率皆很高，但是其查询语言SQL却缺乏语义信息．为了使信息查询既有RDF的语义性又有关系数据库的高性能，提出将RDF查询语言到SQL语言的转换原理，并在此基础上实现一个对用户透明的、建立在关系数据库之上的RDF查询引擎．其优点是：可以利用关系数据库来存储和查询RDF信息，提高其海量存储和查找效率；对存储在不同的关系数据库中的关系数据，能够利用RDF的查找特性进行异质数据库之间的信息交换及信息融合．     

基于语义Web的受控自然语言系统推理模型

虽然相关研究组织提供了语义Web的一些简化工具,但是对不具备相关背景知识的领域专家来说,语义Web的可用性较低。提出了基于语义Web的受控自然语言系统推理模型,以解决这个问题。首先给出受控自然语言系统推理模型框架;然后分析受控自然语言的语言处理部分,提出基于WordNct的受控自然语言系统的本体词库模型和基于本体词库的受控自然语言解释器,把受控自然语言转换成中间表达语言篇章表述结构;最后通过推理部分把篇章表述结构转换成语义Web的本体和规则,通过模板工具映射成Jess的事实和规则,根据预定义的语义Web的公理和定理对受控自然语言进行推理。试验证明此模型大大提高了知识表示建模的效率,也基本满足简单推理任务,具有实用价值。     

Ontology-based computational intelligent multi-agent and its application to CMMI assessment

This study presents an ontology-based computational intelligent multi-agent system for Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) assessment. An ontology model is developed to represent the CMMI domain knowledge that will be adopted by the computational intelligent multi-agent. The CMMI ontology is predefined by domain experts, and created by the ontology generating system. The computational intelligent multi-agent comprises a natural language processing agent, an ontological reasoning agent and a summary agent. The multi-agent deals with the evaluation reports from the natural language processing agent, infers the term relation strength between the ontology and the evaluation report, and then summarizes the main sentences of the evaluation report. The summary reports are meanwhile transmitted back to the domain expert, which makes the domain expert further adjust the CMMI ontology. Experimental results indicate that the ontology-based computational intelligent multi-agent can effectively summarize the evaluation reports for the CMMI assessment.

AquaLog: An ontology-driven question answering system for organizational semantic intranets

The semantic web vision is one in which rich, ontology-based semantic markup will become widely available. The availability of semantic markup on the web opens the way to novel, sophisticated forms of question answering. AquaLog is a portable question-answering system which takes queries expressed in natural language and an ontology as input, and returns answers drawn from one or more knowledge bases (KBs). We say that AquaLog is portable because the configuration time required to customize the system for a particular ontology is negligible. AquaLog presents an elegant solution in which different strategies are combined together in a novel way. It makes use of the GATE NLP platform, string metric algorithms, WordNet and a novel ontology-based relation similarity service to make sense of user queries with respect to the target KB. Moreover it also includes a learning component, which ensures that the performance of the system improves over the time, in response to the particular community jargon used by end users.     

OntoMap: an ontology-based architecture to perform the semantic mapping between an interlingua and software components

This paper is about the use of natural language to communicate with computers. Most researches that have pursued this goal consider only requests expressed in English. A way to facilitate the use of several languages in natural language systems is by using an interlingua. An interlingua is an intermediary representation for natural language information that can be processed by machines. We propose to convert natural language requests into an interlingua [universal networking language (UNL)] and to execute these requests using software components. In order to achieve this goal, we propose OntoMap, an ontology-based architecture to perform the semantic mapping between UNL sentences and software components. OntoMap also performs component search and retrieval based on semantic information formalized in ontologies and rules.     

Semantic interpretation of a database query language

In this paper, we will discuss a system that semantically interprets a formal database accessing language and generates natural language from this interpretation. In the past, the major way of communication between a user and a database was by means of a formal language. One such language is the SQL query language. Even though constructed as a user friendly language, SQL exemplifies the same difficulties for users as do other formal languages, namely a fairly rigid syntax, the necessity of variable binding, the lack of pronouns, and in the case of erroneous queries error messages that do not provide much insight. To alleviate some of the formal language problems, yet utilize the power of the formal language, we set out to build a natural language ‘umbrella’ for the SQL user. Our goal was not to build a natural language query system, but rather to use semantic knowledge and natural language for paraphrasing the formal language (SQL) and producing error messages as a feedback mechanism. In this way we build a genuine help facility, which would not only aid the user in dealing with SQL, but also trap erroneous queries.     

基于本体论的语义建模研究

本体(Ontology)是下一代互联网(SemanticWeb)的基础,OWL语言是W3C组织定义的本体描述语言。鉴于当前互联网的规模越来越庞大,如何准确快速地获取信息正变得至关重要,而基于本体论的语义模型为信息的表示、交换和处理提供了一个较为合理的标准,从而使得网上信息的完全共享成为可能。文中阐述了本体的概念,重点探讨了基于本体论的语义建模方法和OWL语言对本体表示的支持,并且具体给出了一个基于OWL语言的建模实例。     

A linguistic ontology

This paper defends the choice of a linguistically-based content ontology for natural language processing and demonstrates that a single common-sense ontology produces plausible interpretations at all levels from parsing through reasoning. The paper explores some of the problems and tradeoffs for a method which has just one content ontology. A linguistically-based content ontology represents the "world view" encoded in natural language. The content ontology (as opposed to the formal semantic ontology which distinguishes events from propositions, and so on) is best grounded in the culture, rather than in the world itself, or in the mind. By "world view" we mean naive assumptions about "what there is" in the world, and how it should be classified. These assumptions are time-worn and reflected in language at several levels: morphology, syntax and lexical semantics. The content ontology presented in the paper is part of a Naive Semantic lexicon, Naive Semantics is a lexical theory in which associated with each word sense is a naive theory (or set of beliefs) about the objects or events of reference. While naive semantic representations are not combinations of a closed set of primitives, they are also limited by a shallowness assumption. Included is just the information required to form a semantic interpretation incrementally, not all of the information known about objects. The Naive Semantic ontology is based upon a particular language, its syntax and its word senses. To the extent that other languages codify similar world views, we predict that their ontologies are similar. Applied in a computational natural language understanding system, this linguistically-motivated ontology (along with other native semantic information) is sufficient to disambiguate words, disambiguate syntactic structure, disambiguate formal semantic representations, resolve anaphoric expressions and perform reasoning tasks with text.
