Getting Started Chapter 1. Introduction. OpenRDF.org: Home. Mereology. Mereology has been axiomatized in various ways as applications of predicate logic to formal ontology, of which mereology is an important part.

Mereology

A common element of such axiomatizations is the assumption, shared with inclusion, that the part-whole relation orders its universe, meaning that everything is a part of itself (reflexivity), that a part of a part of a whole is itself a part of that whole (transitivity), and that two distinct entities cannot each be a part of the other (antisymmetry). A variant of this axiomatization denies that anything is ever part of itself (irreflexive) while accepting transitivity, from which antisymmetry follows automatically. Standard university texts on logic and mathematics are silent about mereology, which has undoubtedly contributed to its obscurity. History[edit] A.N. In 1930, Henry Leonard completed a Harvard Ph.D. dissertation in philosophy, setting out a formal theory of the part-whole relation. Axioms and primitive notions[edit] The axioms are: Semantic network. Typical standardized semantic networks are expressed as semantic triples.

YAGO - D5: Databases and Information Systems (Max-Planck-Institut für Informatik)

Currently, YAGO has knowledge of more than 10 million entities (like persons, organizations, cities, etc.) and contains more than 120 million facts about these entities. YAGO is special in several ways: The accuracy of YAGO has been manually evaluated, proving a confirmed accuracy of 95%. Every relation is annotated with its confidence value.YAGO combines the clean taxonomy of WordNet with the richness of the Wikipedia category system, assigning the entities to more than 350,000 classes.YAGO is an ontology that is anchored in time and space. YAGO is developed jointly with the DBWeb group at Télécom ParisTech University. Word2vec - Tool for computing continuous distributed representations of words. Mappings.dbpedia.

Freebase. Freebase is a large collaborative knowledge base consisting of metadata composed mainly by its community members.

Freebase

It is an online collection of structured data harvested from many sources, including individual 'wiki' contributions.[2] Freebase aims to create a global resource which allows people (and machines) to access common information more effectively. It was developed by the American software company Metaweb and has been running publicly since March 2007. Metaweb was acquired by Google in a private sale announced July 16, 2010.[3] Google's Knowledge Graph is powered in part by Freebase.[4] Freebase data is freely available for commercial and non-commercial use under a Creative Commons Attribution License, and an open API, RDF endpoint, and database dump are provided for programmers.

Linked data. An introductory overview of Linked Open Data in the context of cultural institutions.

Linked data

In computing, linked data (often capitalized as Linked Data) describes a method of publishing structured data so that it can be interlinked and become more useful. It builds upon standard Web technologies such as HTTP, RDF and URIs, but rather than using them to serve web pages for human readers, it extends them to share information in a way that can be read automatically by computers. This enables data from different sources to be connected and queried.[1] Tim Berners-Lee, director of the World Wide Web Consortium, coined the term in a design note discussing issues around the Semantic Web project.[2] Jena - Welcome to Jena. Web Ontology Language. Istnieją trzy odmiany języka OWL: OWL Lite;OWL DL (rozszerzenie OWL Lite);OWL Full (rozszerzenie OWL DL). OWL został uznany w lutym 2004 roku za standard przez W3C. RDF i OWL są bardzo podobne i dotyczą tego samego problemu, jednak OWL jest językiem bardziej rozbudowanym, z większym słownikiem i mocniejszą składnią.
