Hypergraph Approach Towards Ontology Design in Association-Oriented Metamodel
Marek Krótkiewicz · Cybernetics & Systems · 2019
The paper presents the relationship module (RM) being a part of the semantic knowledge base used for the efficient semantic modeling of relations between concepts. The main contribution of presented solutions represents an approach based on the hypergraph-based data model expressed upon the association-oriented metamodel. The RM has been designed in accordance with a number of assumptions related to the representation of relationships, such as defining types of relations in terms of their characteristics, arity and hierarchy, transferring attribute among related concepts, instancing specific relationships, and determining potentially permitted or prohibited connections between concepts.
