Abstract

The scientific enterprise depends on the effective transfer of knowledge from creator to user. Recently the rate of scientific knowledge production is overwhelming the ability for researchers to process it. Semantic web technologies may help to handle this vast amount of scientific knowledge. However, automatic computerized techniques that extract semantics from natural language text for use in matching with the requests of knowledge seekers achieve only mediocre results. Clearly, semantic descriptions of expert knowledge that are constructed by the knowledge creators themselves will be more accurate. We report an approach and software implementation of a knowledge sharing platform based on semantic web technologies, called EKOSS for expert knowledge ontology-based semantic search, that helps knowledge creators construct semantic descriptions of their knowledge. The EKOSS system enables knowledge creators to construct computer-interpretable semantically rich statements describing their knowledge with minimal effort and without any knowledge of semantic web technologies.

1 Introduction

We report an approach and software implementation, called EKOSS for expert knowledge ontology-based semantic search to support knowledge sharing by using semantic web technologies. EKOSS takes the approach of enabling the knowledge creators to construct semantic descriptions of their knowledge that are better suited for computer-based processing and matching. In this paper, we describe the basic approach and architecture of the EKOSS system.

3 Role of EKOSS In Scientific Knowledge Sharing

Fig. 2. the four level architecture for knowledge sharing, discovery and integration proposed by the authors.

The EKOSS system is intended to implement the second level of this framework. Specifically, the EKOSS system provides a web-accessible knowledge sharing platform with the following features:

• an ontology browser for examining the available ontologies and supporting dialogue concerning ontology development.
• a personal repository of Knowledge Projects that contain semantic descriptions and queries for representing specific expert knowledge of a user,
• a personal repository of Search Projects that contain semantic descriptions and queries that represent knowledge interests or requirements of a user,
• a semantic search engine based on the RacerPro DL reasoner with extensions for rule-based reasoning and datatype reasoning.
