Knowledge Representation and Automated Methods of Searching for Information in Bibliographical Data Bases: A Rough Set Approach

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Intelligent Systems Reference Library ((ISRL,volume 43))

Abstract

In this paper, we present an approach to searching for information in bibliographical data bases founded on rough set theory and the domain knowledge. The additional knowledge of the information searched by the user is represented in the form of two kinds of ontologies: a general ontology and a specific ontology. The general ontology is built by domain experts. In research carried out, this ontology covers information about fundamental notions in the area of rough set theory and its applications as well as about significant relationships between these notions. The specific ontology delivers us the additional knowledge of a bibliographical description of a paper searched in a data base. This knowledge is extracted automatically from data gathered in the Rough Set Database System (RSDS). This system, besides a typical utility function, constitutes an environment for conducting research with a view to verify the validity of the proposed methods and algorithms devoted to searching for information in its data base.
