Applications of ontologies and problem-solving methods.pdf

SPRING 1999 119 Workshop
Report problem (Chandrasekaran 1998), which states that representing knowl- edge for the purpose of solving some problem is strongly affected by the nature of the problem and the infer- ence strategy to be applied to the problem. Through ontologies and PSMs, this interaction can be made explicit and taken into consideration. Ontologies Ontologies aim at capturing domain knowledge in a generic way. An ontol- ogy, therefore, provides a commonly agreed understanding of a domain, which can be reused and shared across ■The Workshop on Applications of Ontologies and Problem-Solving Meth- ods (PSMs), held in conjunction with the Thirteenth Biennial European Confer- ence on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI ’98), was held on 24 to 25 August 1998. Twen- ty-six people participated, and 16 papers were presented. Participants included sci- entists and practitioners from both the ontology and PSM communities. The first day was devoted to paper presenta- tions and discussions. The second (half) day, a joint session was held with two other workshops: (1) Building, Maintain- ing, and Using Organizational Memories and (2) Intelligent Information Integra- tion. The reason for the joint session was that in all three workshops, ontologies play a prominent role, and the goal was to bring together researchers working on related issues in different communities. The workshop ended with a discussion about the added value of a combined ontologies-PSM workshop compared to separate workshops. O ne of the main motivations underlying both ontologies and problem-solving methods (PSMs) is to enable sharing and reuse of knowledge and reasoning behavior across domains and tasks. PSMs and ontologies can be seen as complemen- tary reusable components to con- struct knowledge systems from re- usable components. Ontologies are concerned with static domain knowl- edge and PSMs with dynamic reason- ing knowledge. To build full applica- tions of information and knowledge systems from reusable components, both PSMs and ontologies are re- quired in a tightly integrated way. The integration of ontologies and PSMs is a possible solution to the interaction ed to build ontologies. Uschold’s methodology (Uschold and Grünin- ger 1996), Grüninger and Fox’s (1995) methodology, and METHONTOLOGY (Gómez-Pérez 1998; Fernández, Gó- mez-Pérez, and Juristo 1997) are the most representative ones, which have in common that they start from the identification of the purpose of the ontology and the need for domain knowledge acquisition. However, hav- ing acquired a significant amount of knowledge, Uschold proposes codifi- cation in a formal language, and METHONTOLOGY proposes expressing the ontology at the knowledge level as a set of intermediate representations based on tabular and graph notations. Several languages can be used to formalize the content of an ontology at the symbol level. Usually, a lan- guage is attached to a given ontology server. The most representative lan- guages are ONTOLINGUA (Gruber 1993), CYCL (Lenat and Guha 1990), and LOOM (MacGregor 1991). ONTOLINGUA is the language used by the ONTOLOGY SERVER (Farquhar et al. 1997). CYCL is the language used in the CYC Project, and LOOM is the language used by the server called ONTOSAURUS (Swartout et al. 1997). Although ontologies can be used (Uschold and Grüninger 1996) to communicate between systems, peo- ple, and organizations, interoperate between systems, and support the design and development of knowl- edge-based and general software sys- tems, the number of applications built that use ontologies to model the application knowledge is small. That is, many times such ontologies have been built just for a given application without special consideration for sharing and reuse. Several problems make it difficult to reuse existing ontologies in applications: Ontologies are dispersed over several servers; the formalization differs depending on the server on which the ontology is stored; ontologies on the same server are usually described with different levels of detail; and there is no com- mon format for presenting relevant information about the ontologies so that users can decide which ontology best suits their purpose. These prob- lems are probably the cause for the rel- Applications of Ontologies and Problem- Solving Methods Asunción Gómez-Pérez and V. Richard Benjamins applications and groups (Uschold and Grüninger 1996). Ontologies provide a common vocabulary of an area and define—with different levels of for- mality—the meaning of the terms and the relations between them. Ontologies are usually organized in taxonomies and typically contain modeling primitives such as classes, relations, functions, axioms, and instances (Gruber 1993). Until now, few domain-indepen- dent methodologies have been report- Ontologies provide a common vocabulary of an area and define—with different levels of formal- ity—the meaning of the terms and the relations between them.

atively small number
of known appli- cations until now in areas such as knowledge management, ontology- based brokers, natural language generation, enterprise modeling, knowledge-based systems, and inter- operability between systems. Problem-Solving Methods PSMs describe the reasoning process of a knowledge-based system in an implementation- and domain-inde- pendent manner. A PSM defines a way to achieve the goal of a task. It has input and output and can decompose a task into subtasks. In addition, a PSM specifies the data flow between its sub- tasks. Control knowledge determines the execution order and iterations of the subtasks of a PSM. Control knowl- edge can be specified in advance, if known, or can be determined oppor- tunistically at run time depending on the dynamic problem-solving situa- tion (Benjamins 1995). PSMs can be used to efficiently achieve goals of tasks through the application of domain knowledge (Fensel and Straat- man 1998). They can play several roles in the knowledge-engineering process, such as guiding the acquisition pro- cess of domain knowledge and facili- tating knowledge-based system devel- opment through their reuse. Work on PSMs covers different areas such as the identification of task-spe- cific PSMs (for diagnosis, planning, assessment, and so on), the storing and indexing of PSMs in libraries, and the formalizing of PSMs. The difficulty of reusing PSMs is that one has to find the right PSM (that does—part of—the job), check whether it is applicable in the situation at hand, and modify it to fit the domain. To reuse PSMs success- fully in a real-life application, one has to understand these processes. Recent- ly, a few industrial applications have seen the light, which shows that the reuse of PSMs is also interesting from an industrial point of view (for exam- ple, see four papers in Benjamins and Fensel [1998]). Aim of This Joint Workshop on Ontologies and PSMs In the past years, several separate work- shops on ontologies (for example, ECAI’94, ECAI’96, IJCAI’93, IJCAI’95, FOIS’98) and PSMs (for example, KAW’96, KAW’98, IJCAI’97) have been organized that focused largely on the- oretical aspects such as engineering, designing, building, maintaining, and using ontologies and PSMs and less on applications. As a result, there is now reasonable understanding of, and con- sensus on, the nature of ontologies and PSMs. Real applications built through ontologies and PSMs are, however, still rare. Moreover, the rela- tion between ontologies and PSMs is an important issue. For example, Neches and his colleagues (1991) pro- posed an architecture for knowledge- based systems based on reusing generic reasoning modules and ontologies. Van Heijst, Schreiber, and Wielinga (1997) describe how to merge generic model components (task-model com- ponents and ontologies) to build the knowledge model of an application. Apart from bringing together re- searchers from the two fields, this workshop had two aims: (1) promote a deep understanding of how ontologies and PSMs can be used in real applica- tions and (2) pursue how they relate to each other. Themes and the Papers in the Proceedings The 16 papers accepted for this work- shop deal with ontologies, PSMs, and their integration. Within each of these categories, the following subdivisions can be made. Ontologies Classifying and characterizing ontologies: Uschold questions in his paper why there are no “killer applica- tions” built using ontologies. He intro- duces a scheme for classifying ontolo- gy applications along a number of dimensions (purpose, representation languages and paradigms, meaning and formality, subject matter, develop- ment, conceptual architecture, mecha- nisms and techniques to use the ontol- ogy, and implementation platforms) and advocates that such schema be used when research applications results are reported. In the paper “(ONTO)2AGENT: An Ontology-Based WWW Broker to Select Ontologies,” Julio ArpĂrez, AsunciĂłn GĂłmez-PĂ©rez, Helena Pinto (all of Technical University of Madrid), and Adolfo Lozano (University of Extremadura) present three important problems that ontology users face when trying to reuse existing ontolo- gies: No standardized identifying fea- tures characterize ontologies from the user’s point of view; no web sites use the same logical organization to pre- sent relevant information about ontologies; and the search for appro- priate ontologies is hard, time con- suming, and usually fruitless. To solve these problems, they present a set of features to characterize ontologies from a user’s point of view and (ONTO)2AGENT, a broker that uses a ref- erence ontology (a living domain ontol- ogy about ontologies) as a source of its knowledge to retrieve descriptions of ontologies that satisfy a given set of constraints. Ontologies and natural language generation: Marcel Fröhlich (Univer- sity of TĂĽbingen) and Reind van de Riet (Free University of Amsterdam) present in their paper “Using Multiple Ontologies in a Framework for Natural Language Generation” a framework that integrates domain-independent tools for natural language generation (KPML) and integration of existing ontologies in a natural language gen- eration pipeline architecture. In “ONTOGENERATION: Reusing Do- main and Linguistic Ontologies for 120 AI MAGAZINE Workshop Report A PSM defines a way to achieve the goal of a task. It has input and output and can decompose a task into subtasks.

Spanish Text Generation,”
Guadalupe Aguado, Alvaro Sánchez (both of Tech- nical University of Madrid), John Bate- man (University of Sterling), Gómez- Pérez, and colleagues propose a general approach to reuse domain (chemicals) and linguistic (generalized upper model) ontologies with natural language generation technology (KPML), describing a practical system for the generation of Spanish texts in the domain of chemical substances. Integration of ontologies: Stuart Aitken (AIAI) describes in “Extending the HPKB-Upper-Level Ontology: Expe- riences and Observations” an experi- ence of extending the HPKB upper-level ontology. The major claim is that reuse by extension is only possible if the ontology to be reused is under- standable, and its design principles are made explicit. Hercules Dalianis (KTH) and Eduard Hovy (University of Southern Califor- nia) describe a semiautomated meth- od to merge two STEP schemata. The paper shows how a set of simple met- rics can be applied for revealing likely matches and nonmatches across con- cepts taken from different ontologies. Pepijn Visser (University of Liver- pool) and Zhan Cui (BT Laboratories) describe in “Heterogeneous Ontology Structures for Distributed Architec- tures” an experiment in the domain of business processes. They propose to have a hierarchical structure of hetero- geneous ontologies to be used for the integration of heterogeneous and dis- tributed information systems. Rather than trying to achieve one shared con- sensual domain ontology for all infor- mation systems, their starting point is to define a hierarchical ontology struc- ture that comprises several smaller but heterogeneous shared ontologies. Each information system that is part of the distributed architecture maps its local ontology onto one of the ontolo- gies in the hierarchy using a kind of mapping relation. Applications that use ontologies: In his paper (“Spotting Ontological Lacunae through Spectrum Analysis of Retrieved Documents”), Edward Hoenkamp (NICI) describes how an ontology-based information filter can spot a potential lacuna in an ontology by analyzing retrieved documents. The feedback of a spectrum analysis of the retrieved documents and termino- logical data in WORDNET helps to locate lacunae in an ontology that represents user-information need. The paper by Zhi Jin, David Bell, George Willkie, and D. Leahy (all of University of Ulster), “Automatically Acquiring Requirements of Business Information Systems by Reusing Busi- ness Ontologies,” proposes an ap- proach for automatically acquiring requirements for business information systems by reusing the domain knowl- edge, which consists of a business ontology and a domain ontology. In “Applying the Process Inter- change Format (PIF) to a Supply Chain Process Interoperability Scenario,” Steve Polyak (University of Edin- burgh), Michael Grüninger (Universi- ty of Toronto), J. Lee (University of Hawaii), and C. Menzel (Texas A&M University) describe the application of PIF in a knowledge-sharing effort to facilitate business-process reengineer- ing of supply-chain activities. PIF acts as an interlingua between two separate tools used in the modeling and simu- lation of the proposed processes. The paper illustrates the benefits of using a process ontology to capture domain knowledge in a generic way so that it can be reused across applications and shared across groups. Problem-Solving Methods Building KBS through reuse of PSMs: In the paper “Experiments in Building Program Supervision Engines from Reusable Components,” Monica Crubezy, Sabine Moisan (both of INRIA), and Mar Marcos (University of Jaumel) describe a number of knowl- edge-based systems built from reusable problem-solving methods. It shows how the problem-solving methods from three application systems (PEGASE, PULSAR, and MEDIA) shared sub- methods and were configured from a common set of components. All these systems were used in the area of pro- gram supervision. Jose Sierra and Martin Molina (both of Technical University of Madrid) describe in their paper, “Terminologi- cal Importation for Adapting Reusable Knowledge Representation Compo- nents in the KSM Environment,” an adaptation approach for reusable knowledge representation compo- nents based on a particular form of ontological mapping called termino- logical importation. Terminological importation is a mechanism to popu- late a representation terminology associated with a knowledge represen- tation component with concepts tak- en from another terminology about a concrete domain. The approach is used in the KSM environment for adapting basic reusable, knowledge representation software components in different domains. Integration of Ontologies and PSMs B. Chandrasekaran, John Josephson (both of The Ohio State University), and Richard Benjamins (University of Amsterdam) (“Ontology of Tasks and Methods”) claim that ontologies for problem-solving knowledge are just as important as for domain knowledge. Traditionally, the field of ontology has been concerned with static domain knowledge. The authors analyze prob- lem-solving knowledge and provide a list of primitive components that, according to their analysis, should be identified when describing any prob- lem-solving knowledge. In addition to these components, they define how PSM components get connected with domain knowledge, and they suggest making explicit the assumptions about how problem-solving knowl- edge expects factual knowledge to be structured. The paper by Mitsuru Ikeda, Kazuhisa Seta, Riichiro Mizoguchi (all of Osaka University), and Osama Kakusho (Hyogo University), “An Ontology for Building a Conceptual Problem-Solving Model,” is about the use of task ontologies and their role in forming a bridge between a user’s vocabulary and the system’s terminol- ogy. The authors pay considerable attention to the execution of a con- ceptual model. In “IBROW3, An Intelligent Brokering Service for Knowledge-Component Reuse on the World Wide Web,” the authors provide a global overview of an Esprit Project for the plug and play of PSMs. A web broker mediates between customers and PSM providers SPRING 1999 121 Workshop Report

to configure a
customized knowledge system for solving problems of the cus- tomers. The different worlds of the cus- tomers, the broker, and the providers are modeled through ontologies. In his paper “DESIRE, an Interopera- tive Environment for Distributed Expert Systems,” Takahira Yamaguchi (Shizuoka University) proposed using an ontology to facilitate communi- cation among expert systems to im- prove their performance in a distribut- ed environment. Joint Session Besides presentations of the papers accepted for the workshop, there was also a joint session with two other workshops: (1) Building, Maintaining, and Using Organizational Memories and (2) Intelligent Information Inte- gration. The common theme of the three workshops was ontologies. In knowledge management, ontologies can play the role of an organizational memory. In information integration, ontologies can be used to integrate heterogeneous information sources. This session had three invited talks: First, James Hendler of the University of Maryland talked about, among oth- er things, the role of ontologies for knowledge representation on the web. Second, Gio Wiederhold of Stanford University discussed, among other things, the role of ontologies in large- scale information systems. Third, Ulrich Reimer of Swiss Life talked about the role of ontologies in knowl- edge management. Conclusions This workshop provided a platform to present, discuss, and evaluate applica- tions of ontologies and PSMs in areas such as knowledge management and enterprise modeling, communication between people and organizations, interoperability between systems, nat- ural language generation, and integra- tion of ontologies and PSMs in appli- cations. Overall, the combination of ontologies and PSMs in one workshop was evaluated positively—not that there were so many papers about their integration (although there were some), but it was felt that being aware of the other work was certainly worth- while. After all, a knowledge system contains both domain knowledge and reasoning knowledge. The workshop papers are available at //delicias. dia.fi.upm.es/WORKSHOP/ECAI98/in dex.html.
