Handling Semantic Inconsistencies in Distributed Knowledge Systems Using Ontologies

Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNAI,volume 2366)

Abstract

Traditional query processing provides exact answers to queries. It usually requires that users fully understand the database structure and content to issue a query. Due to the complexity of the database applications, the so called global queries can be posed which traditional query answering systems can not handle. In this paper a query answering system based on distributed data mining is presented to rectify these problems. Task ontologies are used as a tool to handle semantic inconsistencies between sites.

Keywords

  • Remote Site
  • Disjunctive Normal Form
  • Local Query
  • Distribute Information System
  • Incomplete Information System

These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
