Abstract EN
The existing ontologies in the semantic web typically have anonymous union and intersection classes.
The anonymous classes are limited in scope and may not be part of the whole inference process.
The tools, namely, the pellet, the jena, and the protégé, interpret collection classes as (a) equivalent/subclasses of union class and (b) superclasses of intersection class.
As a result, there is a possibility that the tools will produce error prone inference results for relations, namely, sub-, union, intersection, equivalent relations, and those dependent on these relations, namely, complement.
To verify whether a class is complement of other involves utilization of sub- and equivalent relations.
Motivated by the same, we (i) refine the test data set of the conference ontology by adding named, union, and intersection classes and (ii) propose a match algorithm to (a) calculate corrected subclasses list, (b) correctly relate intersection and union classes with their collection classes, and (c) match union, intersection, sub-, complement, and equivalent classes in a proper sequence, to avoid error prone match results.
We compare the results of our algorithms with those of a candidate reasoner, namely, the pellet reasoner.
To the best of our knowledge, ours is a unique attempt in establishing a novel way to relate ontology classes.
