摘要
通过定量地评估本体中概念或实体的波及效应,本体的所有者和使用者均能够准确、全面地分析本体演化。现有方法初步量化了本体中的波及效应,但是并未考虑本体中语义关系强弱对于波及效应的影响。针对上述问题,本文提出了基于术语频率与本体频率(term frequency and ontology frequency,TFOF)的定量评估方法,并将其应用于本体演化研究。该方法利用本体中语义关系的出现频率计算关系的权重,从而获得本体所对应的语义关系矩阵,最后运用改进的Floyd-warshall算法计算各个概念或实体的波及效应。实验结果表明,基于TFOF波及效应的评估方法能够更精准地度量本体演化过程中概念或实体的波及效应,且该方法对不同版本中共有结点的度量结果更加稳定。
Abstract
By evaluating the ripple-effect of concepts or entities in the ontology, both the owner and the user of the ontology can accurately and comprehensively analyze the ontology evolution. This paper proposes a quantitative evaluation method based on the TFOF (term frequency and ontology frequency) and applies it to ontology evolution research due to the fact that the existing methods do not consider the influence of the semantic relationship between the ontologies. This paper uses the frequency of the semantic relationship in the ontology to calculate the weight of the relationship to obtain the semantic relation matrix corresponding to the ontology. Finally, the improved Floyd-warshall algorithm is used to calculate the ripple-effect of each concept or entity. The experimental results show that the evaluation method based on the TFOF ripple-effect can measure the ripple-effect of concepts or entities in the evolution process of ontologies with higher accuracy, and the results of the common nodes in different versions are more stable.
上述方法虽然量化了本体演化的波及效应,但均未考虑语义关系的强弱对波及效应的影响,而一个本体元素的变化会对本体中其他元素产生影响,不同的语义关系为演化带来的影响大小也不尽相同[10]。本体中出现的某种关系越多,表明该关系在本体中占有越重要的地位,所以本文在本体语义关系图模型的基础上,使用TFOF(term frequency and ontology frequency)算法[14]对本体演化过程中的语义关系进行了更加精确地量化,分别统计每一个关系在本体中出现的频率,然后计算出该关系的权重,最后通过语义关系矩阵与改进后的Floyd-warshall算法计算本体在演化过程中的波及效应的变化。
在本体的演化中,当一个本体元素变化时,会对其他元素产生影响,此即为波及效应。计算某个结点的波及效应实质上是计算本体语义矩阵中某一结点到其他结点之间权重最大路径。Floyd-warshall算法通过动态规划的方式求得多源最短路径,本文对Floyd-warshall进行修改。将语义关系矩阵作为算法的输入,结点之间权重采用累乘的方式进行传播,在更新路径的时候,比较新的路径权重与原有路径权重,只有新的路径权重大于原有路径权重才更新原有路径权重。这样通过修改的Floyd-warshall算法可计算出基于TFOF的波及效应矩阵RippleEffectMatrix( M (R))。Function RippleEffectMatrix如下
