If I want to sum the cases of European countries in individual Europe is it possible to make it with SWRL rule in Protege

So, here is something with OWL / Protégé I can't quite understand:
Let's say I have a class Clazz which is an enumerated class containing only the individuals I1 and I2. I then create a third individual I3 and declare it to be of type Clazz.
If I now start a reasoner, I would expect it to infer a sameIndividualAs between all (or at least some) of the indidivuals. This is not the case, I tested with both Hermit and Pellet reasoners.
If I explicitly state the three individuals to be different from each other, the ontology becomes inconsistent. Can anyone tell me why the individuals are not showing up to be sameIndividualAs in Protégé in the first case?
As there is no unique name assumption in OWL, the ontology is consistent until it is explicitly asserted that the manually typed individual is owl:differentFrom all of the individuals defining the class (the set restricted with owl:oneOf). If that's not asserted, in case there is more than one individual, the only inference that can be made is that, in your case, I1and I2 are members of the class Clazz. I3 should be the same as one of the individuals, but there is no information to decide as which. You can remove this ambiguity by making Clazz defined as owl:oneOf :I1. Then there will be no ambiguity and sufficient information to infer that :I3 owl:sameAs :I1.
I have a small ontology defined as shown in the following picture:
I created an individual for Dataset and one for Algorithm. I expected that the reasoner would infer the Algorithm individual as Linear_Least_Regression, but this didn't happen.
This is the definition of the Dataset individual. As it can be seen, the individual fulfils the requirements for a Dataset needed by the Linear_Least_Regression
Also, if I add the Linear_Least_Regression as a type for the Algorithm individual, the reasoner does not complain.
I also tried to get the Linear_Least_Regression as a result with a DL Query but this also didn't work.
Did I miss something when modelling my ontology or does the problem lie at the reasoner?
I tried following two reasoners: FaCT++ 1.6.5 and HermiT 1.3.8.413 and Protégé 5
I wanna get the total number of relationships between classes (just classes without taking into account individuals) in an ontology, I'm not sure if I can get it through the metrics that provides protege. I'll put an example below to show you what I'm looking for.
This picture represents an excerpt of people ontology. For me the total number of relationshiphs between classes is 11 (8 subclass relationships and 3 other relationships ).
By visualizing the ontology metrics provided by protege, this is what I get (in the picture below): As you can see I have just 5 subclassOf axioms instead of 8. And I don't know if it's possible to get the total number of relationships from only those metrics. I wanna get the total number using java code based on OWL-API. I use Protege just to have an idea of numbers of metrics.
Please if you have any idea that may help me to get the total number, I would be grateful
Thank you
You can count axioms of a specific type with OWLOntology::getAxioms(AxiomType) - I believe that's what Protege is doing - but I don't think that will be enough for your objective. EquivalentClasses axioms with more than two elements in it will count for more than one link, for example.
What are the OWL ontology language boundaries? Like:
Can I use a class with different parents? (Multiple inheritance) Protege doesn't allow this.
What characters I can or cannot use? e.g. Cannot use '#' or '^' in Protege. Why?
Case-sensitive classes? e.g. class A and a are two different classes?
What else?
The boundaries of OWL are determined by the boundaries of logic of the respective OWL dialect. This is the taxonomy of the OWL2 dialects:
-First Order Logic
--SWRL/RIF
---OWL DL
----OWL EL, RL, QL
-----Concept Hierarchies
--OWL Full
---OWL DL
----OWL EL, RL, QL
-----Concept Hierarchies
---RDFS
-----Concept Hierarchies
You can find more about these dialects here.
The most used dialect is OWL-DL, as it offers a good balance between expressiveness and decidability. There is a classification system for Description Logic to determine expressiveness:
"AL" allows: Atomic negation; Concept intersection; Universal restrictions; Limited existential quantification
"FL" allows:Concept intersection; Universal restrictions; Limited existential quantification; Role restriction
"EL" allows: Concept intersection; Existential restrictions
Then there are the following extensions:
"F" - Functional properties, a special case of uniqueness quantification.
"E" - Full existential qualification
"U" - Concept union.
"C" - Complex concept negation.
"H" - Role hierarchy (subproperties - rdfs:subPropertyOf).
"R" - Limited complex role inclusion axioms; reflexivity and irreflexivity; role disjointness.
"O" - Nominals. (Enumerated classes of object value restrictions - owl:oneOf, owl:hasValue).
"I" - Inverse properties.
"N" - Cardinality restrictions (owl:cardinality, owl:maxCardinality), a special case of counting quantification
"Q" - Qualified cardinality restrictions
"D" - Use of datatype properties, data values or data types.
According to this classification the expressiveness of OWL2-DL is (SHROIQ(D)), where "S" stands for An abbreviation for "ALC" with transitive roles. (Note: there is a terminological difference between DL and OWL, for example OWL specification uses "properties", while DL uses "roles").
So, the short answer to you question is: the boundaries of OWL2-DL are (SHROIQ(D)).
Can I use a class with different parents? (Multiple inheritance)
Protege doesn't allow this
You should be careful when trying to apply metaphors from other modelling paradigms. Strictly speaking "Parents" and "inheritance" are not applicable in OWL. We can say that there is something like sharing of properties but its direction - unlike in the Object Oriented paradigm - is upwards, not downwords. OWL uses "classes" but you should think of them as sets, not as "classes" from OO. Being sets, a class can be as sub-class of different classes and Protégé allows this. In fact it is used quite often. "Boar" is a subclass of both "Bear" and "Male", just as "Bull" would be a subclass of both "Cattle" and "Male". We can always find a set of properties to create a new class. All examples so far would be of course subclasses of "Mammal"and then of "Animal", but they can be also subclasses of e.g. "Two-eyed agents", a class, which can have subclasses that are not animals, for example "two-eyed robots".
What characters I can or cannot use
OWL has different serialisations such OWL/XML, Turtle etc. Each has it's own syntax.
As you asked for useful resources, one such would be of course the OWL primer. I would also recommend this free course.
If I extract certain association rules from a sample itemset consisting of let's say:
a, b -> c
c, d -> e
a, c -> d
b, c -> c
Is there a way to combine the found rules into one formula depending on a fixed item count number were all rules are aggregated to get the most likely combination of all association rules combined?
Let's say the fixed item number is four and the above association rules have to be mixed to get the most likely combination. How would I do that? Are there algorithms or programmes for this?
Each association rule has a confidence and support.
For example A --> BC support : 50 % confidence : 50%.
If you combine several association rules, then how you would calculate the support and confidence of the resulting rule ? That would be a problem.
Actually, you could look at CBA: Classification by Associations. This project use association rules to perform classification. Instead of trying to combine association rules, it uses some heuristics to select the rule that is the most appropriate for classifying a new instance. To choose the best rule, it considers the support, the confidence and the size of the left par of the rule. There is other similar works.
But I have not seen any work trying to combine association rules... maybe if you search "association rule clustering" in Google you could find something related to your idea.
By the way, besides confidence and support, some people use other interestingness measures like the lift, J-Measure, etc.
