Semantics and Relationships
Semantics is derived from relationships. Consider the
linguistics perspective.
“Semantics is the study of meaning. …We may
distinguish a number of legitimate ways to approach
semantics:
• …
• the relationship between linguistic expressions (e.g.
synonymy, antonymy, hyperonymy, etc.): sense;
• the relationship to linguistic expressions to the "real
world": reference. “
Ontologies use KR language to support modeling of relationships .
Quoted part from http://www.ncl.ac.uk/sml/staff/. © 2000 Jonathan West.
Knowledge Enabled Information and Services Science
Why is this a hard problem?
Are objects/entities equivalent/equal(same)?
How (well) are they related?
• Implicit vs explicit; formal/assertional vs social
consensus based; powerful (beyond FOL): partial,
probilistic and fuzzy match
• Degrees of relatedness and relevance: semantic
similarity, semantic proximity, semantic distance, ….
– [differentiation, disjointedness]
– related in a “context”
• Even is-a link involves different notions: identify, unity,
essense (Guarino and Wetley 2002)
Semantic ambiguity, also based on incomplete,
inconsistent, approximate information/knowledge

For each group of earthquakes with magnitudes in the ranges
5.8-6, 6-7, 7-8, 8-9, and >9 on the Richter scale per year
starting from 1900, find number of earthquakes
Number of earthquakes with
magnitude > 7 almost constant.
So nuclear tests probably only
cause earthquakes with
magnitude < 7

Relationships -- Blazing the Trails
“The physician, puzzled by her patient's reactions, strikes the trail
established in studying an earlier similar case, and runs rapidly
through analogous case histories, with side references to the classics
for the pertinent anatomy and histology. The chemist, struggling
with the synthesis of an organic compound, has all the chemical
literature before him in his laboratory, with trails following the
analogies of compounds, and side trails to their physical and
chemical behavior.” [V. Bush, As We May Think. The Atlantic
Monthly, 1945. 176(1): p. 101-108. ]

– Search and Index based on events and STT relations
• Many relationship types

• What events happened near this event?
• What entities/organizations are located nearby?
– Temporal:
• What events happened before/after/during this event?
– Thematic:
• What is happening?
• Who is involved?
• Going further
– Can we use What? Where? When? Who? to answer Why? / How?
– Use integrated STT analysis to explore cause and effect

• Modeling Spatial and Temporal data using SW standards (RDF(S))1
– Upper-level ontology integrating thematic and spatial dimensions
– Use Temporal RDF3 to encode temporal properties of relationships
– Demonstrate expressiveness with various query operators built upon

• Graph Pattern queries over spatial and temporal RDF data2
– Extended ORDBMS to store and query spatial and temporal RDF
– User-defined functions for graph pattern queries involving spatial

– Implementation of temporal RDFS inferencing
