Semantics Enhancing Knowledge Discovery and Ontology Engineering Using Mining Techniques: A Crossover Review

Abstract

This chapter deals with a roadmap on the bidirectional interaction and support between knowledge discovery (Kd) processes and ontology engineering (Onto) mainly directed to provide refined models using common methodologies. This approach provides a holistic literature review required for the further definition of a comprehensive framework and an associated meta-methodology (Kd4onto4dm) based on the existing theories, paradigms, and practices regarding knowledge discovery and ontology engineering as well as closely related areas such as knowledge engineering, machine/ontology learning, standardization issues and architectural models. The suggested framework may adhere to the Iso-reference model for open distributed processing and Omg-model-driven architecture, and associated dedicated software architectures should be defined.
