OWL (Web Ontology Language) is a markup ontology language based on Description Logics (DL). It is about to become standard ontology language on the web, therefore different communities try to export their ontologies to OWL. Although OWL is highly expressive, it is not always easy to map a formalism to another one. There are some important conceptual modeling problems that should be revisited by OWL. In this paper we have chosen MPEG-7 as an example meta-language. MPEG-7 is written using XML-Schema. We discussed the problems we came across while mapping MPEG-7 to OWL and gave a conceptual mapping for a part of MPEG-7. OWL standard is evolving and we claim that with the employment of new standards a complete mapping from MPEG-7 to OWL will be possible. This study is undertaken within the METU-ISTEC Project (TUBITAK- EEEAG 105E068), supported by the Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey.

Ontology learning and question answering (qa) systems
Başkurt, Meltem; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
Ontology Learning requires a deep specialization on Semantic Web, Knowledge Representation, Search Engines, Inductive Learning, Natural Language Processing, Information Storage, Extraction and Retrieval. Huge amount of domain specific, unstructured on-line data needs to be expressed in machine understandable and semantically searchable format. Currently users are often forced to search manually in the results returned by the keyword-based search services. They also want to use their native languages to expr...
Multiple Description Coding of 3D Dynamic Meshes Based on Temporal Subsampling
Bici, M. Oguz; Akar, Gözde (2010-01-21)
In this paper, we propose a Multiple Description Coding (MDC) method for reliable transmission of compressed time consistent 3D dynamic meshes. It trades off reconstruction quality for error resilience to provide the best expected reconstruction of 3D mesh sequence at the decoder side. The method is based on partitioning the mesh frames into two sets by temporal subsampling and encoding each set independently by a 3D dynamic mesh coder. The encoded independent bitstreams or so-called descriptions are transm...

Probabilistic learning of Turkish morphosemantics by latent syntax
Üstün, Ahmet; Bozşahin, Hüseyin Cem; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2017)
The language processing capability of humans is highly dependent on the transparent interface between syntax and semantics which is formalized as the grammar. Morphology also interferes with this interface, in languages having rich morphology such as Turkish. This thesis aims to discover word semantics in Turkish from the compositional morphosemantics by underlying latent syntax. A computational model has been developed to learn a morpheme lexicon in which each morpheme contains semantic information in logi...
Enriching ebXML registries with OWL ontologies for efficient service discovery
Doğaç, Asuman; Kabak, Y; Laleci, GB (2004-03-29)
Web services, like their real life counterparts have several properties and thus truly useful semantic information can only be defined through standard ontology languages. Semantic Web is an important initiative in this respect. However although service registries are the major mechanisms to discover services, the semantic support provided by service registries is completely detached from the Semantic Web effort.
