(1) The Celebrity Couple Semantic Web Software Agents In 2002, Geek Gossip gushed “The semantic web will provide content for internet agents, and agents will make the semantic web “come alive”. Looks like a match made in Heaven!” UMBC an Honors University in Maryland 6

(1) Trading Agents n We’ve built an agent-based environment inspired by TAC, the Trading Agent Competition n n TAC is a forum for dynamic trading agent research with games run in the last five years TAC Classic involves a travel procurement, with agents buying and selling goods for clients and scored on the cost and clients’ preferences for trips assembled. TAC is organized around a central auction server Our goal was to open up the system, allowing peer-topeer communication among agents as well various kinds of mediator, auction, discovery, service provider agents … and to see how well the semantic web works as the common knowledge infrastructure.

Approach We are building prototype tools and applications that demonstrate how semantic web technology supports information discovery, integration and sharing in scientific communities. The National Biological Information Infrastructure (NBII) and Invasive Species Forecasting System (ISFS) provide requirements and serve as testbeds for our prototypes. (5) SPIRE Invasive species do more economic damage to the U. S. every year that all other natural disasters combined. Above: plants, animals, and a virus. Semantic Prototypes in Research Ecoinfomatics Spire is a distributed, interdisciplinary research project exploring how semantic web technology supports information discovery, integration, and sharing in scientific communities. We are building prototype tools and applications for inclusion in the National Biological Information Infrastructure (NBII), with a focus on the early detection and warning of invasive species. Meal of a Meal (after Friend of a Friend). We know Fish 1 eats Plant 1. We then infer that Fish 1 may also eat the taxonomic siblings of Plant 1: Plants 2 and 3. Similarly, we infer that the taxonomic siblings of Fish 1 - Fishes 2 and 3 - may eat Plant 1. The RMBL team expresses food webs in OWL using an ontology for ecological interaction they have constructed in coordination with other ecologists. The OWL model drives the simulation and visualization. Significant Results SWOOGLE - a search engine for the semantic web. Moa. M (Meal of a Meal) - Given a species list, infer a food web. Photostuff - annotate regions of a picture with OWL. SWOOP - the first ontology editor written specifically for OWL. Ontologies for ecological interaction, and observation data. Food web visualization and analysis tools that are driven by OWL ontologies and instance data. • CRISIS CAT - an RDF based catalog of Invasive Species resources in California. • Coordination with USGS, NASA, EPA, GBIF, and the Intergovernmental, Interagency Cooperation on Ecoinformatics. • • • Swoogle is a crawler based search and retrieval system for semantic web documents (SWDs) in RDF and OWL. It discovers SWDs and computes their metadata and relations, and stores them in an IR system. Users can search for ontologies or instance data, and hits are ranked according to our Ontology Rank algorithm. Broader Impacts • Enable knowledge from one community to be effectively used by another. • Harness the power of the citizen scientist. (The majority of invasives are discovered by amateurs. ) • Integrate research and education in the classroom. Coming Soon • ELVIS – an end to end application that starts with a location and produces a model of its food web. • The Pond Project - a junior high school classroom activity to monitor the health of local ecosystems. • Enhanced tools. An ontology (found via Swoogle) is loaded into Photostuff to mark up regions of a field photograph. The NBII California Information Node (CAIN), maintained by UC Davis, is a jumping off point to broader NBII deployment.

Class, etc. Swoogle uses two kinds of crawlers to discover semantic web documents and several analysis agents to compute metadata and relations among documents and ontologies. Metadata is stored in a relational DBMS. http: //swoogle. umbc. edu/ Swoogle has metadata on classes, properties and individuals from ~240, 000 SWDs SWD Rank A SWD’s rank is a function of its type (SWO/SWI) and the rank and types of the documents to which it’s related.

Uncertainty in Ontology Engineering: A Bayesian Perspective Yun Peng, Zhongli Ding, Rong Pan Department of Computer Science and Electrical engineering University of Maryland Baltimore County ypeng@umbc. edu UMBC an Honors University in Maryland 49

Motivations • Uncertainty in ontology engineering – In representing/modeling the domain • Degree of inclusion • Overlap rather than inclusion • Uncertain information often available – In reasoning • How close a description D is to its most specific subsumer? • Noisy data: leads to over generalization in subsumptions • Uncertain input: – In mapping concepts from one ontology to another • Similarity between concepts may not be described logically • Mappings are hardly 1 -to-1 • Uncertainty becomes more prevalent in web environment – One ontology may import other ontologies – Competing ontologies for the same or overlapped domain UMBC an Honors University in Maryland 50

Overview of The Approach onto 2 onto 1 Probabilistic ontological information P-onto 2 P-onto 1 Probabilistic annotation BN 1 BN 2 OWL-BN translation – OWL-BN translation concept mapping • By a set of translation rules and procedures • Maintain OWL semantics • Ontology reasoning by probabilistic inference in BN UMBC an Honors University in Maryland Probabilistic ontological information – Ontology mapping • A parsimonious set of links • Capture similarity between concepts by joint distribution • Mapping as evidential reasoning 51

OWL-BN Translation • Translated BN will preserve – Semantics of the original ontology – Encoded probability distributions among relevant variables • Encoding probabilities in OWL ontologies – Define new OWL classes for prior and conditional probabilities • Structural translation: a set of rules – Class hierarchy: set theoretic approach • Each OWL class translated to a BN node • Arcs from super to subclass nodes – Logical relations (equivalence, disjoint, union, intersection. . . ) • Control nodes whose CPT realize logical relations – Properties (ongoing) UMBC an Honors University in Maryland 52

Structural Translation • Set theoretic approach – – Each OWL class is considered a set of objects/instances Each class is defined as a node in BN An arc in BN goes from a superset to a subset Consistent with OWL semantics <owl: Class rdf: ID=“Human"> <rdfs: subclass. Of rdf: resource="#Animal"> <rdfs: subclass. Of rdf: resource="#Biped"> </owl: Class> RDF Triples: (Human rdf: type owl: Class) (Human rdfs: sub. Class. Of Animal) (Human rdfs: sub. Class. Of Biped) Translated to BN UMBC an Honors University in Maryland 53

Structural Translation • Logical relations – Some can be encoded by CPT (e. g. . Man = Human∩Male) – Others can be realized by adding control nodes Man Human Woman Human = Man Woman Man ∩ Woman = auxiliary node: Human_1 Control nodes: Disjoint, Equivalent UMBC an Honors University in Maryland 54

Constructing CPT • Imported Probability information is not in the form of CPT • Assign initial CPT to the translated structure by some default rules • Iteratively modify CPT to fit imported probabilities while setting control nodes to true. – IPFP (Iterative Proportional Fitting Procedure) To find Q(x) that fit Q(E 1), … Q(Ek) to the given P(x) • Q 0(x) = P(x); then repeat Qi(x) = Qi-1(x) Q(Ej)/ Qi-1(Ej) until converging • Q (x) is an I-projection of P (x) on Q(E 1), … Q(Ek) (minimizing Kullback-Leibler distance to P) – Modified IPFP for BN UMBC an Honors University in Maryland 55

Example UMBC an Honors University in Maryland 56

Ontology Mapping • Formalize the notion of mapping • Mapping involving multiple concepts • Reasoning under ontology mapping UMBC an Honors University in Maryland 57

Formalize The Notion of Mapping • Simplest case: Map concept E 1 in Onto 1 to E 2 in Onto 2 – How similar between E 1 and E 2 – How to impose belief (distribution) of E 1 to Onto 2 • Cannot do it by simple Bayesian conditioning P(x| E 1) = ΣE 2 P(x| E 2)P(E 2 | E 1) similarity(E 1, E 2) – Onto 1 and Onto 2 have different probability space (Q and P) • Q(E 1) ≠ P(E 1) • New distribution, given E 1 in Onto 1: P*(x) ≠ΣP (x|E 1)P(E 1) – similarity(E 1, E 2) also needs to be formalized UMBC an Honors University in Maryland 58

Formalize The Notion of Mapping • Jeffrey’s rule – Conditioning cross prob. spaces – P*(x) =ΣP (x|E 1)Q(E 1) – P* is an I-projection of P (x) on Q(E 1) (minimizing Kullback. Leibler distance to P) – Update P to P* by applying Q(E 1) as soft evidence in BN • similarity(E 1, E 2) – Represented as joint prob. R(E 1, E 2) in another space R – Can be obtained by learning or from user • Define map(E 1, E 2) = <E 1, E 2, BN 1, BN 2, R(E 1, E 2)> UMBC an Honors University in Maryland 59

Reasoning With map(E 1, E 2) Q P BN 1 E 2 E 1 Applying Q(E 1) as soft evidence to update R to R* by Jeffrey’s rule BN 2 R E 1 E 2 Applying R*(E 2) as soft evidence to update P to P* by Jeffrey’s rule Using similarity(E 1, E 2): R*(E 2) = R*(E 1, E 2)/R*(E 1) UMBC an Honors University in Maryland 60

Mapping Reduction • Multiple mappings – One node in BN 1 can map to all nodes in BN 2 – Most mappings with little similarity – Which of them can be removed without affecting the overall • Similarity measure: – Jaccard-coefficient: sim(E 1, E 2) = P(E 1 E 2)/R(E 1 E 2) – A generalization of subsumption – Remove those mappings with very small sim value • Question: can we further remove other mappings – Utilizing knowledge in BN UMBC an Honors University in Maryland 61

Current focuses • Current focuses: – OWL-BN translation: properties – Algorithms for ontology reasoning as probabilistic inference over translated BN – Ontology mapping: mapping reduction • Prototyping and experiments • Issues – Complexity – How to get these probabilities UMBC an Honors University in Maryland 62
