Using formal ontology for integrated spatial data mining Julie Sungsoon Hwang Department of Geography State University of New York at Buffalo ICCSA04 Perugia, Italy May 14, 2004 Research purposes Enlighten the role of formal ontology in KDD Propose the conceptual framework for ontology-based spatial data mining Case study: ontology-based spatial clustering algorithms Problems in focus (cont.) No single algorithm is best suited to all research purposes and application domains. The same algorithm can yield results inconsistent with fact without considering domain knowledge The same data may have to be analyzed in different ways depending on users’ goal Problems in focus Developing new algorithms Relation between data mining and ontology construction Role of formal ontology in KDD Provide the context in which the knowledge extracted from data is interpreted and evaluated Using ontology for spatial data mining Ontology formalizes how the knowledge is conceptualized, thereby making implicit meaning explicit Data mining extracts a high-level knowledge from a low-level data, thereby enhancing the level of understanding Domain-specific spatial data mining Let’s compare two different domains: traffic accident versus retailers Task-oriented spatial data mining Let’s compare two different tasks: detecting hotspots of traffic accident versus partitioning market areas based on the location of retail Ontology as an active component of information system Conceptual framework for ontology-based spatial data mining (OBSDM) Component of OBSDM OBSDM:: Input:: Metadata OBSDM:: OBSDMM:: Domain Ont. Terms within the “theme” tag in the metadata are used as a token to locate the appropriate domain ontology Domain ontology specifies the definition, class, and properties Class example: Accident is a Subclass-Of Temporal-Thing Properties example: Road has a Geographic-Region as a Value-Type Properties of class inherit from top-level ontology Domain ontology := Traffic accident Th
