CSc 8711, Spring 2011
Assignment 5 (Ontology Design in OWL/RDF)
Due: 30 April, 2011
Consider the information available at
DBLP
website. Design an OWL Ontology for the information
present there. Concepts to consider are:
- Publications
- Conferences
- Workshops
- Journals
- Series
- Books
- Authors
The ontology should be able to support the following queries:
- Find papers written by a particular author.
- Find papers published in a journal in a particular volume and number.
- Find papers which have "deductive" in their title.
- Find authors with publications in a given journal in a particluar year.
You should write SPARQL queries for the above and verify the answers.
Please submit the SPARQL queries as well.
Notes:
- The ontology design should be done in a team (same team
as in the presentation).
- The deliverable will be one or more OWL files.
- You must use Protege 3.4 software to create the ontology.
- The schema part of your ontology should be
reasonably comprehensive; The
instance level need not be complete.
- The ontology should be consistent and verifiable against a
reasoner.
- You must use rdfs:label and rdfs:comment to document your
classes.
- Produce separate OWL files for instances (similar to nobel.owl
and nobeldata.owl)
- Be sure to use xml:base attribute so that the ontologies are
location independent.
- Write and submit a short document explaining your design as well
as contributions of the team members.
