Abstract

Recent years have seen a dramatic growth of semantic web on the data level, but unfortunately not on the schema level, which contains mostly concept hierarchies. Theshortage of schemas makes the semantic web data difficult to be used in many semantic web applications, so schemas learningfrom semantic web data becomes an increasingly pressing issue. In this paper we propose a novel schemas learning approach -BelNet, which combines description logics (DLs) with Bayesian networks. In this way BelNet is capable to understand andcapture the semantics of the data on the one hand, and tohandle incompleteness during the learning procedure on theother hand. The main contributions of this work are: (i)we introduce the architecture of BelNet, and correspondinglypropose the ontology learning techniques in it, (ii) we compare the experimental results of our approach with the state-of-the-art ontology learning approaches, and provide discussions from different aspects.
