Maria Keet"],"abstract":"Competency Questions (CQs) are natural language questions outlining and\nconstraining the scope of knowledge represented by an ontology. Despite that\nCQs are a part of several ontology engineering methodologies, we have observed\nthat the actual publication of CQs for the available ontologies is very limited\nand even scarcer is the publication of their respective formalisations in terms\nof, e.g., SPARQL queries. This paper aims to contribute to addressing the\nengineering shortcomings of using CQs in ontology development, to facilitate\nwider use of CQs. In order to understand the relation between CQs and the\nqueries over the ontology to test the CQs on an ontology, we gather, analyse,\nand publicly release a set of 234 CQs and their translations to SPARQL-OWL for\nseveral ontologies in different domains developed by different groups. We\nanalysed the CQs in two principal ways. The first stage focused on a linguistic\nanalysis of the natural language text itself, i.e., a lexico-syntactic analysis\nwithout any presuppositions of ontology elements, and a subsequent step of\nsemantic analysis in order to find patterns. This increased diversity of CQ\nsources resulted in a 5-fold increase of hitherto published patterns, to 106\ndistinct CQ patterns, which have a limited subset of few patterns shared across\nthe CQ sets from the different ontologies. Next, we analysed the relation\nbetween the found CQ patterns and the 46 SPARQL-OWL query signatures, which\nrevealed that one CQ pattern may be realised by more than one SPARQL-OWL query\nsignature, and vice versa. We hope that our work will contribute to\nestablishing common practices, templates, automation, and user tools that will\nsupport CQ formulation, formalisation, execution, and general management.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1811.09529v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1811.09529v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"competency-questions-and-sparql-owl-queries","repo_url":"https://github.com/CQ2SPARQLOWL/Dataset","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"management","task_name":"Management"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
