[AFS00] Integrating ontologies and thesauri for RDF schema creation and metadata querying

Résumé:
In this paper we present a new approach for building metadata schemas by integrating
existing ontologies and structured vocabularies (thesauri). This integration
is based on the specification of inclusion relationships between thesaurus terms and
ontology concepts and results in application-specific metadata schemas incorporat-ing
the structural views of ontologies and the deep classification schemes provided
by thesauri. We will also show how the result of this integration can be used for
RDF schema creation and metadata querying. In our context, (metadata) queries
exploit the inclusion semantics of term relationships, which introduces some re-cursion.
We will present a fairly simple database-oriented solution for querying
such metadata which avoids a (recursive) tree traversal and is based on a linear
encoding of thesaurus hierarchies.
