Towards a Novel and Generic Approach for OWL Ontology Weighting

SemSimp: A Parametric Method for Evaluating the Semantic Similarity of Digital Resources

“…Sánchez et al (2011) argue that taxonomic leaves are sufficient to describe and differentiate two concepts because abstract entities rarely appear in the universe of discourse, but have an impact on the size of the taxonomy. In Abioui et al (2018), besides the taxonomic structure, concepts' weights are derived by considering other ontological relationships. However, in this study, we focus on taxonomies (i.e., ISA hierarchies) because, in general, they are adopted by actual communities (e.g., the ACM) for classification purposes.…”

A parametric similarity method: Comparative experiments based on semantically annotated large datasets

“…In order to estimate the weight of a concept, Hayuhardhika et al [29] propose to use the density factor of a concept, which is based on the sum of incoming and outgoing connections with other concepts versus the total number of connections in the ontology. Finally, Abioui et al [2] consider both the taxonomic structure and the other ontological relationships to derive concepts' weights. In our paper, we focused on taxonomies (i.e., structures organized according to ISA relationships) because, in general, they are used for classification purposes by actual communities (e.g., the ACM and APS communities).…”
