| 2022 | Active knowledge graph completionabstractEnterprise and public Knowledge Graphs (KGs) are known to be incomplete. Methods for automatic completion, sometimes by rule learning, scale well. While previous rule-based methods learn closed (non-existential) rules, we introduce Open Path (OP) rules that are constrained existential rules. We present a novel algorithm, OPRL, for learning OP rules. Closed rules complete a KG by answering queries of unclear origin, usually derived from a holdback test set in experimental settings. However, OP rules can generate relevant queries for KG completion. OPRL generates queries even when there is no closed rule to answer the query, or when the correct answer is a missing entity that is not present in the KG. For OPRL to scale well, we propose a novel embedding-based fitness function to efficiently estimate rule quality. Additionally, we introduce a novel, efficient vector computation to formally assess rule quality. We evaluate OPRL using adaptations of Freebase, YAGO2, Wikidata, and a synthetic Poker KG. We find that OPRL mines hundreds of accurate rules from massive KGs with up to 8 M facts. The OP rules generate queries with precision as high as 98% and recall of 62% on a complete KG, demonstrating the first solution for active knowledge graph completion.

| 2021 | TNNT: The Named Entity Recognition ToolkitabstractExtraction of categorised named entities from text is a complex task given the availability of a variety of Named Entity Recognition (NER) models and the unstructured information encoded in different source document formats. Processing the documents to extract text, identifying suitable NER models for a task, and obtaining statistical information is important in data analysis to make informed decisions. This paper presents\footnoteThe manuscript follows guidelines to showcase a demonstration that introduces an overview of how the toolkit works: input document set, initial settings, processing, and output set. The input document set is artificial in order to show various toolkit capabilities. TNNT, a toolkit that automates the extraction of categorised named entities from unstructured information encoded in source documents, using diverse state-of-the-art (SOTA) Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools and NER models.TNNT integrates 21 different NER models as part of a Knowledge Graph Construction Pipeline (KGCP) that takes a document set as input and processes it based on the defined settings, applying the selected blocks of NER models to output the results. The toolkit generates all results with an integrated summary of the extracted entities, enabling enhanced data analysis to support the KGCP, and also, to aid further NLP tasks.

| 2015 | A Taxonomy of Semantic Web Data Retrieval TechniquesabstractThe Semantic Web provides access to an increasing amount of structured information in a wide variety of domains. Information overload due to the large amount of structured data is as much a problem as on the traditional Web. To solve this problem, ample research has been proposed on Semantic Web data retrieval techniques and after more than a decade of research in this domain it is now reasonable to consider the questions: is the field of Semantic Web data retrieval making progress? What are the directions that have been taken? and what are some of the promising significant directions to pursue future research? To answer these questions, we review the state-of-the-art Semantic Web data retrieval techniques and define a taxonomy of these techniques to classify the ongoing research and find potential future research directions.

| 2007 | ActiveRDF: object-oriented semantic web programmingabstractObject-oriented programming is the current mainstream programming paradigm but existing RDF APIs are mostly triple-oriented. Traditional techniques for bridging a similar gap between relational databases and object-oriented programs cannot be applied directly given the different nature of Semantic Web data, for example in the semantics of class membership, inheritance relations, and object conformance to schemas.

| 2006 | An ontology for internal and external business processesabstractIn this paper we introduce our multi metamodel process ontology (m3po), which is based on various existing reference models and languages from the workflow and choreography domain. This ontology allows the extraction of arbitrary choreography interface descriptions from arbitrary internal workflow models. We also report on an initial validation: we translate an IBM Websphere MQ Workflow model into the m3po ontology and then extract an Abstract BPEL model from the ontology.
