8. Approach for the management of quasi-equivalent concepts

8.3 Discussion

The thesis hypothesis states that a significant part of the difficulties appears due to the often-unprincipled approach to merge concepts (from independently developed underlying conceptualizations) that are very close to each other in their meaning but not identical, which are called quasi-equivalent. As it has been defined these concepts can be replaced by each other or merged into one, but some information might be changed, added, or lost.

During analysis of the theoretical background and existing ontologies (LOV analysis), the stated hypothesis has been confirmed. The question of quasi-equivalent concepts management does bring additional complications whether to keep quasi-equivalent concepts separate or to merge them. The same conclusion has been confirmed by questionnaire results.

There is no clear and universal answer, that can be always used. There are multiple reasons and motivations behind the choice to merge “quasi-equivalent” concepts or to keep them separate. Mainly, the usage of "quasi-equivalent" relations depends on the granularity of the respective ontology and its goal. For the detailed ontology, it is valuable to define quasi-equivalent relations between concepts as otherwise important connections or descriptions might be lost. For the general ontology, quasi-equivalent relations cannot be that crucial and can be merged to keep ontology small and to make the management of data easier.

To support the decision whether to keep quasi-equivalent concepts separate or to merge them, the decision process has been introduced and tested. To analyze the information that can be changed, added, or lost in case of merging concepts and to support the decision whether this additional information is important and quasi-equivalent concepts must be kept separate the

79 ontology engineer can use a combination of additional resources to build a stronger justification for the decision.

The proposed decision process has been tested on real examples from the LOV analysis.

There are only separated concepts in the LOV analysis, that is why it is possible to find a difference that can be lost in the case of merging and define the downside of merging and separation. For each pair, the current decision to keep concepts separate has been confirmed or rejected based on the outcome of the decision process.

The test has been done based on 1 or 2 examples for each of the most common links from the 9th question of the questionnaire: owl:equivalentClass, owl:sameAs, rdfs:subClassOf, skos:exactMatch, skos:closeMatch. For the owl:sameAs link the decision was to separate two concepts and to merge one. In the case of owl:equivalentClass, the decision is to merge both concepts instead of keeping them separated. The same decision has been made in the case of skos:exactMatch. For the skos:closeMatch, the decision was to separate one example and to merge another one.

Some conditions have been mentioned during the testing of the decision process.

Dictionary, encyclopedic definitions and synonyms thesauri have been used during the analysis of additional resources as domain expert consultation has not been available. The definitions from the dictionary have been compared with the definitions, that are captured within the respective ontology. If the difference between two compared concepts is not relevant for the ontology, concepts should be merged into one.

Conclusion

In this chapter, I would like to summarize the completed work and review it from the perspective of the initial goals. The main purpose of the term paper was to provide the initial road mapping for the quasi-equivalent concepts and to make them beneficial for the ontology design. The thesis is focusing on studying and analyzing relevant topics and relevant methods to get an overview of the matching techniques that can be applied in the case of quasi-equivalent concepts.

The theoretical part includes the explanation of semantic web and linked data, identity problems and contextual identity, ontology merging and alignment, and relevant methods of knowledge acquisition. The basic literature on relevant topics, especially ontology merging and alignment, and related work on similar topics have been evaluated and explained.

The current state of the quasi-equivalence has been analyzed based on the Linked Open Vocabularies (LOV). The goal was to evaluate the existing ontologies and describe concrete cases of the quasi-equivalent concept. Already during data preparation, it was discovered that the topic of equivalence is not covered by most of the ontologies, and the quasi-equivalent concepts are just linked by owl:SameAs or owl:quasi-equivalentClass. Due to that the information that the concepts are quasi-equivalent is lost.

To gather the information from experts, who have already faced complications whether to keep two concepts separate or to merge them into one (but internally not fully coherent) concept, the questionnaire survey was provided. Based on the outcome of the feedback the challenge of quasi-equivalent concepts on how the decision can be handled is presented.

The outcome of the work is tentative guidance. That guidance, which has been presented in the thesis paper, has been extended by the clear process of decision-making. The decision-making process has been developed, to clarify the challenge of quasi-equivalent concepts on how it can be handled. Since the concept of identity and similarity is very relative, it is important to have justification, which would support the decision-making process of identifying the level of identity or similarity. The formulated guidelines for making decisions in such situations have been applied to concrete real cases of quasi-equivalent concepts from the output of LOV analysis in order to test the process.

"Professor (commonly abbreviated as Prof.) is an academic rank at universities and other post-secondary education and research institutions in most countries. Literally, professor derives from Latin as a "person who professes". Professors are usually experts in their field and teachers of the highest rank. In many systems of academic ranks,

"professor" refers only to the most senior

academic position, sometimes informally known as "full professor." In some countries and

institutions, the word "professor" is also used in titles of lower ranks such as associate professor and assistant professor; this is particularly the case in the United States. This colloquial usage would be considered incorrect among other academic communities. However, the unqualified title

"Professor" designated with a capital letter nearly always refers to a full professor. Professors often conduct original research and commonly teach undergraduate, professional, or postgraduate courses in their fields of expertise. In universities with graduate schools, professors may mentor and supervise graduate students conducting research for a thesis or dissertation. In many universities,

91 full professors take on senior managerial roles such as leading departments, research teams and institutes, and filling roles such as president, principal or vice-chancellor. The role of professor may be more public-facing than that of more junior staff, and professors are expected to be national or international leaders in their field of expertise."@en pedagoga, tedy vyšší než docent.
