the ontology derives from the Greek onto (being) and logia (written or spoken). It is a branch of metaphysics , the study of first principles or the root of things.
For efficient and innovative use of big data, it is important to integrate multiple data bases across domains. For example, various public data bases are developed in life science, and how to find a novel scientific result using them is an essential technique. In social and business areas, open data strategies in many countries promote diversity of public data, how to combine big data and open data is a big challenge. That is, diversity of dataset is a problem to be solved for big data.
Ontology gives a systematized knowledge to integrate multiple datasets across domains with semantics of them. Linked Data also provides techniques to interlink datasets based on semantic web technologies. We consider that combinations of ontology and Linked Data based on ontological engineering can contribute to solution of diversity problem in big data.
In this talk, I discuss how ontological engineering could be applied to big data with some trial examples.

Introduction to Ontology Engineering with Fluent Editor 2014Cognitum
An introductory course for Ontology Engineering using Controlled Natural Language. Fluent Editor (FE) is an ontology editor that is a tool for editing and manipulating ontologies. The main feature of Fluent Editor is that it uses controlled natural language (CNL) to communicate with a user. Communication with CNL is a more suitable for human users alternative to XML-based OWL editors.
it's our presentation during the third international conference of information systems and technologies ICIST 2013 held at Tangier, Morocco in which we propose a new approach for human assessment of ontologies using an online questionnaire.

Model of Energy Generation in Plant by the Cells of The Leafs During the Nigh...IJERD Editor
It is known fact that plants generates energy using the sunlight and that the intensity of the sun drastically reduced from 18:00 hours to 6:00 hours (over the night). A mathematical model is presented to describe the process and the energy generated by the cells in the leaf of a plant at this period. The model equations are solved with graph showing the production level within the range of periods stated. This study assumed that plants have already generated enough energy both stored and used. The result showed that plant makes use of existing stored energy thus reducing the level of the stored energy until the next day when the energy level begins to increase.

Advancements of Computer technology has made every organization to implement the automatic processing systems for its activities. One of the examples is the recognition of handwritten characters, which has always been a challenging task in image processing and pattern recognition. In this paper we propose Zone based features for recognition of the handwritten characters. In this zoning approach a digit image is divided into 8x8 zones and centre pixel is computed for each zone. This procedure is sequentially repeated for entire zone. Finally features are extracted for classification and recognition.

The Dendro research data management platform: Applying ontologies to long-ter...João Rocha da Silva
It has been shown that data management should start as early as possible in the research workflow to minimize the risks of data loss. Given the large numbers of datasets produced every day, curators may be unable to describe them all, so researchers should take an active part in the process. However, since they are not data management experts, they must be provided with user-friendly but powerful tools to capture the context information necessary for others to interpret and reuse their datasets. In this paper, we present Dendro, a fully ontology-based collaborative platform for research data management. Its graph data model innovates in the sense that it allows domain-specific lightweight ontologies to be used in resource description, acting as a staging area for later deposit in long-term preservation solutions.
IDENTIFYING THE SEMANTIC RELATIONS ON UNSTRUCTURED DATAijistjournal
Ontologisms have been applied to many applications in recent years, especially on Sematic Web, Information Retrieval, Information Extraction, and Question and Answer. The purpose of domain-specific ontology is to get rid of conceptual and terminological confusion. It accomplishes this by specifying a set of generic concepts that characterizes the domain as well as their definitions and interrelationships. This paper will describe some algorithms for identifying semantic relations and constructing an Information Technology Ontology, while extracting the concepts and objects from different sources. The Ontology is constructed based on three main resources: ACM, Wikipedia and unstructured files from ACM Digital Library. Our algorithms are combined of Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning. We use Natural Language Processing tools, such as OpenNLP, Stanford Lexical Dependency Parser in order to explore sentences. We then extract these sentences based on English pattern in order to build training set. We use a random sample among 245 categories of ACM to evaluate our results. Results generated show that our system yields superior performance.

Firstly I’ll introduce peculiarities of SDM. They ‘re particularly interesting because the practice of geo-referencing them have caused a growing demand for powerful exploratory data analysis techniques overcomes classical statistical and data mining techniques and, among other things,support the analysis of socio economic phenomena by a spatial point of view. In this talk I’ll focus my attention on a specific task that is the discovery of spatial association rules For this purpose I’ll present ARES a system to extract association rules from census data and illustrate an application ARES to mine spatial association rules on North West England 1998 census data in order to study the mportality risk in Greater manchester county

Data sparseness, robustness
CV i.e. it is divided into 5 folds (Four are used for training and one for testing in turn).
Initial ILP reasearch deals with concept learning in form of predicate definition learning
ATRE is a multiple-concept learning system, which solves the following problem:
Since the generation of a clause depends on the chosen seed, several seeds have to be chosen such that at least one seed per incomplete predicate definition is kept . Therefore, the search space is actually a forest of as many search-trees as the number of chosen seeds. The parallel exploration of the forest related to odd and even numbers. Spec. hierarchies are traversed top-dow. Search proceeds towards deeper and deeper levels of the specialization hierarchies until at least a user-defined number of consistent clauses is found. A supervisor task decides whether the search should carry on or not on the basis of the results returned by the concurrent tasks. When the search is stopped, the supervisor selects the “best” consistent clause according to the user’s preference criterion. This strategy has the advantage that simpler consistent clauses are found first, independently of the predicates to be learned. First learning step Consistent clauses in red
Second learning step
CV i.e. it is divided into 5 folds (Four are used for training and one for testing in turn).
If we guarantee the following two conditions: ……………………… then after a finite number of steps a theory T , which is complete and consistent, is built. If we denote by LHM( T i ) the least Herbrand model of a theory T i , the stepwise construction of theories entails that LHM( T i ) LHM( T i+1 ), for each i {0, 1, , n-1}, since the addition of a clause to a theory can only augment the LHM
In order to guarantee the first of the two conditions it is possible to proceed as follows. First, a positive example e + of a predicate p to be learned is selected, such that e + is not in LHM( T i ). The example e + is called seed . Then the space of definite clauses more general than e + is explored, looking for a clause C, if any, such that neg(LHM( T i { C })) = . In this way we guarantee that the second condition above holds as well. When found, C is added to T i giving T i+1 . If some positive examples are not included in LHM( T i+1 ) then a new seed is selected and the process is repeated. The second condition is more difficult to guarantee because of the non-monotonicity property. The approach followed in ATRE to remove inconsistency due to the addition of a clause to the theory consists of simple syntactic changes in the theory, which eventually creates new layers . The layering of a theory introduces a first variation of the classical separate-and-conquer strategy sketched above, since the addition of a locally consistent clause generated in the conquer stage is preceded by a global consistency check.
