    A Roadmap for Semantifying Recommender Systems Using Preference Management
    (Springer, 2010) Tapucu, Dilek; Tekbacak, Fatih; Ünalır, Murat Osman; Kasap, Seda
    The work developed in this paper presents an innovative solution in the field of recommender systems. Our aim is to create integration architecture for improving recommendation effectiveness that obtains user preferences found implicitly in domain knowledge. This approach is divided into four steps. The first step is based on semantifying domain knowledge. In this step, domain ontology will be analyzed. The second step is to define an innovative hybrid recommendation algorithm based upon collaborative filtering and content filtering. The third step is based on preference modeling approach. And in the fourth step preference model and recommendation algorithm will be integrated. Finally, this work will be realized on Netflix movie data source. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.

    From Requirements to Data Analytics Process: An Ontology-Based Approach
    (Springer International Publishing AG, 2019) Bandara, Madhushi; Behnaz, Ali; Rabhi, Fethi A.; Demirors, Onur
    Comprehensively describing data analytics requirements is becoming an integral part of developing enterprise information systems. It is a challenging task for analysts to completely elicit all requirements shared by the organization's decision makers. With a multitude of data available from e-commerce sites, social media and data warehouses selecting the correct set of data and suitable techniques for an analysis itself is difficult and time-consuming. The reason is that analysts have to comprehend multiple dimensions such as existing analytics techniques, background knowledge in the domain of interest and the quality of available data. In this paper, we propose to use semantic models to represent different spheres of knowledge related to data analytics space and use them to assist in analytics requirements definition. By following this approach users can create a sound analytics requirements specification, linked with concepts from the operation domain, available data, analytics techniques and their implementations. Such requirements specifications can be used to drive the creation and management of analytics solutions, well aligned with organizational objectives. We demonstrate the capabilities of the proposed method by applying on a data analytics project for house price prediction.

    Policies for Role Based Agents in Environments With Changing Ontologies
    (International Foundation for Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2011) Tekbacak, Fatih; Tuğlular, Tuğkan; Dikenelli, Oğuz
    Software agents try to achieve the goals of roles that they have in an environment. It is supposed that the dynamic structure of role based agents can be connected with updatable domain ontologies of the environment. Ontology evolution can cause the update of agent behaviors or access restrictions to ontological elements. So regulation for the agent behaviors may be needed. Our motivation is to create a suitable policy model for agents, environments and organizations when ontologies in the environment can change.

    An Architecture for Verification of Access Control Policies With Multi Agent System Ontologies
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2009) Tekbacak, Fatih; Tuğlular, Tuğkan; Dikenelli, Oğuz
    Multi-agent systems (MAS) which communicate with intra-domain and inter-domain agent platforms have access control requirements. Instead of a central mechanism, a fine-graned access control mechanism could have been applied to MAS platforms. This paper emphasizes MAS-based domain and security ontologies with XACML-based access control approach for MAS platforms. The domain dependent behaviour and access control parameters in agent ontologies could be combined within a common XACML policy document that is used through different MAS applications. Agent-based access control requirements and common XACML policy documents should be consistent to enforce policies for MAS. To obtain this condition, the translation of organizational policies and platform based policies have to be considered in detail and the verified policy features have to be enforced in MAS to provide access for resources.

    An Extension of Ontology Based Databases To Handle Preferences
    (INSTICC, 2009) Tapucu, Dilek; Ait-Ameur, Yamine; Jean, Stephane; Ünalır, Murat Osman
    Ontologies have been defined to make explicit the semantics of data. With the emergence of the SemanticWeb, the amount of ontological data (or instances) available has increased. To manage such data, Ontology Based DataBases (OBDBs), that store ontologies and their instance data in the same repository have been proposed. These databases are associated with exploitation languages supporting description, querying, etc. on both ontologies and data. However, usually queries return a big amount of data that may be sorted in order to find the relevant ones. Moreover, in the current, few approaches considering user preferences when querying have been developed. Yet this problem is fundamental for many applications especially in the e-commerce domain. In this paper, we first propose an extension of an existing OBDB, called OntoDB through extension of their ontology model in order to support semantic description of preferences. Secondly, an extension of an ontology based query language, called OntoQL defined on OntoDB for querying ontological data with preferences is presented. Finally, an implementation of the proposed extensions are described.
