OWL2Vec*: Embedding of OWL Ontologies
share
Semantic embedding of knowledge graphs has been widely studied and used for prediction and statistical analysis tasks across various domains such as Natural Language Processing and the Semantic Web. However, less attention has been paid to developing robust methods for embedding OWL (Web Ontology Language) ontologies. In this paper, we propose a language model based ontology embedding method named OWL2Vec*, which encodes the semantics of an ontology by taking into account its graph structure, lexical information and logic constructors. Our empirical evaluation with three real world datasets suggests that OWL2Vec* benefits from these three different aspects of an ontology in class membership prediction and class subsumption prediction tasks. Furthermore, OWL2Vec* often significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in our experiments.
