RE: [ebcore] Semantic alignment support in CPPA

Farrukh,

 

Like the use case approach here.  Continuing that thought path - I could see storing OWL assertions regarding a CPPA to aid in query discovery - and particularly to group related CPPAs by domain and applicability.

 

For example I may have 2 CPPAs - which in their simple text description appear to be completely unrelated - and not anything to do with the application I need - but on inspection of OWL terms - discover they are in fact exactly what I need to use.

 

As you note though - this will depend heavily on the style of OWL assertions - SET TC work has excellent example of OWL profile for dictionary components.

 

Similarly - as you also noted - this may be automatically mined out from CPPA by inspecting the associated CAM templates and the exchange document content.

 

We really are being to make a lot of this stuff feasible now - and it opens up interesting possibilities for the future.

Thanks, DW

Hi Farrukh,

The OWL query support definitely sounds relevant.

The SET TC has also developed OWL ontologies for UNCEFACT CCTS that are
relevant.

David Webber can explain their progress so far to us, and relate it to
his CAM versions of similar functionality. The SET TC has actually been
more ambitious than developing support for simple semantic alignment
constraints/rules and are seeking automatic mapping between diverse
message sets (UBL and GS1, for example) that each have a CC
"conformance." 

CPPA just needs to have a survey of existing approaches so that for
version 3.0, suitable containers can be defined to organize the
information that constitutes the agreement on "semantic" conventions
(philosophically viewed, these conventions will of course really just be
more agreements about syntactic rules that we think of as constraining
the intended semantics).

Your explanation of the examples and maybe how to reference the
information (or regrep query for it!) would I think be very useful.

Thanks,

Dale Moberg

Hi Dale,

Can you tell me what I need to read for background regarding semantic 
alignment support in CPPA.
in RegRep 4 we have an OWL profile 2.0 which supports semantic alignment

via the RegRep query interface.

An example use case in weather domain that I am familiar with is:

Find all datasets that have a dataset field matching specified fieldname

OR any other field name that is semantically similar to specified 
fieldname WHERE similarity threshold may be specified as a float value 
between 0.0 (no similarity) and 1.0 (completely synonymity).

The capability uses domain ontologies along with alignment ontologies to

determine similar terms.

Does this sort of functional sound relevant?
