Description

With the recent growth of Linked Data on the Web there is an increased need for knowledge engineers to find ontologies to describe their data. Only limited work exists that addresses the problem of searching and ranking ontologies based on a given query term. In this paper we introduce DWRank, a two-staged bi-directional graph walk ranking algorithm for concepts in ontologies. DWRank characterises two features of a concept in an ontology to determine its rank in a corpus, the centrality of the concept to the ontology within which it is defined (HubScore) and the authoritativeness of the ontology where it is defined (AuthorityScore). It then uses a Learning to Rank approach to learn the feature weights for the two ranking strategies in DWRank. We compare DWRank with state-of-the-art ontology ranking models and traditional information retrieval algorithms. This evaluation shows that DWRank significantly outperforms the best ranking models on a benchmark ontology collection for the majority of the sample queries defined in the benchmark. In addition, we compare the effectiveness of the HubScore part of our algorithm with the state-of-the-art ranking model to determine a concept centrality and show the improved performance of DWRank in this aspect. Finally, we evaluate the effectiveness of the FindRel part of the AuthorityScore method in DWRank to find missing inter-ontology links and present a graph-based analysis of the ontology corpus that shows the increased connectivity of the ontology corpus after extraction of the implicit Inter-ontology links with FindRel.
