Motivation

Method

Reengineering of non-RDF data sources without fixing assumptions on the domain

semantics

Objective: organize knowledge from structurd data sources

using ontologydesign patterns [3, 4]

Example

Tool

Refactoring of the reengineered RDF triples to LMM

Reengineeringof a legacy (non-RDF)

data source to RDF triples

(1) Semantic Technology Laboratory ISTC-CNR(2) Dipartimento di Scienze dell’Informazione, Università di Bologna

The Web of Data is fedby “triplifiers”, tools able

to transform contentto Linked Data [1]

Triplifiers implementvarious methods typically based on bulk recipes which allow for

no or limited customizationof the process

The transformation relies on predetermined implicit assumptions

on the domain semantics of the non-RDF data source

Lack of good practices forknowledge representation

and organization

Refactoring of RDF triples first in terms of a mediator

ontology (i.e. LMM [2]), then in terms of formal semantics

and logics

LMM allows a semiotic cognitiverepresentation of knowledge based

on the so-called semiotic triangle
