Why use ontology? ,[object Object],Tags: cat , mouse,

Why use ontology? ,[object Object],[object Object],Tags: cat , mouse, A tag is normally a freely-chosen, non-hierarchical keyword or term. The tag can be the identical but it might have different interpretation. What you are looking for …..

Why use ontology? ,[object Object],[object Object],Tags: cat , mouse, What you actually get… The meaning of the keyword is unclear (Can not tell what it is about by only looking at the tags… )

Why use ontology? ,[object Object],[object Object],Tags: cat , mouse, the keyword approach is more focus on labeling objects rather than the relationship Not way to describe the links ( chasing ) between them. Describing the link between objects is as important as tagging the objects themselves

Why use ontology? ,[object Object],[object Object],Tags: cat , mouse, chase Additional tags will not be sufficient to describe the links. By adding the third tag “chase”. The question remains : Who is chasing who?

Why use ontology? ,[object Object],[object Object],Query: “ Display images with an animal and a person on them, along with what is happening between them" rider horse

Why use ontology? How to describe this search in a query interface? Google style? single textbox Not expressive enough Library style? Textbox with drop down list or check box Not flexible enough Native SQL? SQL syntax ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],What else? Query: “Display images with an animal and a person on them, along with what is happening between them"

Why use ontology? ,[object Object],[object Object],rider horse Problems 1 Ask for : person, animal Actual tags: rider, horse Traditional search engine is based on keyword match. the tags we have here are rider and horse, if it does not contain any keywords we entered, the search engine will not return anything It needs background knowledge to understand a rider is a person riding a horse and a horse is in fact an animal.

Why use ontology? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],definitely a horse! probably a fox ? Domain-specific expertise index = E(d) Degree of uncertainty = CF horse Tagged area 95% Is a zoologist 5 year kid
