概念图的引入是为了以一种比符号更容易被开发人员和其他利益相关者访问的方式精确地指定本体。在本文中,我们提出了一个案例研究中使用的概念图在视觉上指定的语义传感器网络(SSN)本体。SSN本体最初由W3C的孵化器组开发。在本体论中,传感器是实现感知的物理对象,观测由单个传感器观测。这些以及其他的角色和概念都是通过概念图直观而精确地捕捉到的。我们认为,从开发这个可视化模型的经验教训,并展示如何将描述逻辑公理转换为概念图。我们还演示了如何合并简单的概念图公理到更复杂的公理,同时确保图保持相对整洁。
Concept diagrams were introduced for precisely specifying ontologies in a manner more readily accessible to developers and other stakeholders than symbolic notations. In this paper, we present a case study on the use of concept diagrams in visually specifying the Semantic Sensor Networks (SSN) ontology. The SSN ontology was originally developed by an Incubator Group of the W3C. In the ontology, a sensor is a physical object that implements sensing and an observation is observed by a single sensor. These, and other, roles and concepts are captured visually, but precisely, by concept diagrams. We consider the lessons learnt from developing this visual model and show how to convert description logic axioms into concept diagrams. We also demonstrate how to merge simple concept diagram axioms into more complex axioms, whilst ensuring that diagrams remain relatively uncluttered.
