一种基于网络分析的语义冗余发现方法

摘要

The efficiency of semantic reasoning can be improved through constructing the semantic ontology reasonably and reducing the redundant information in the process of reasoning.It is a feasible method to reveal the reason of the redundant information in the process of reasoning through analyzing the dynamic changes of an ontology structure and the important role of nodes in an ontology.Taking AGROVOC ontology network as an example, this paper provides qualitative analyses based on the reasoning mechanism of semantic web for understanding the redundant information.Meanwhile, some quantitative measurements from the perspective of complex network are provided in order to identify the core concepts in a semantic web, and further to solve the problem of redundant information.Experimental results show that the reasoning of semantic web and the rationality of ontology construction can be quantitatively analyzed from the perspective of complex network, which provides a new measurement to optimize the design of ontology and improve the efficiency of reasoning in the semantic web.%以农业AGROVOC本体为例,结合语义万维网推理机制定性分析冗余信息产生原因,利用复杂网络分析方法量化推理过程中产生的冗余,进而确定本体中的核心概念,解决推理冗余问题.实验表明,复杂网络分析方法可从定量角度找出核心节点及导致推理产生冗余的边,并揭示了语义冗余引起的推理效率降低问题.为优化本体设计、提高推理效率提供了一种新的可行方法.
