Terminology classification is defined as a process that generates a logically consistent subtype classification by applying description logics rules to the stated definitions of a set of concepts. The stated view of a concept definition consists of the relationships directly edited by terminology authors. It consists of the stated subtype relationships plus the defining relationships that exist prior to running a description logic classifier. When classification is applied, inferences are derived by applying a consistent set of logical rules to the definition taking account of the definitions of related concepts. The result is the inferred view
The classifier is a software tool that applies description logic rules to a set of data to make inferences about the relationships between sets of concepts.
Step-by-step guide
- In the Concept Editor select 'Classifier' tab to see previous classifier runs, specifying path name, request time, start time, as well as run duration and status
- Press 'Schedule a run' to run a new classification.
- Click on 'more info' link to see total numbers and lists of new and inactivated 'is_a', new and inactivated attribute relationships, cycles and equivalent concepts.
- Press 'Show New 'IS:A's to see new supertype-subtype relationships (idem for 'Inactivated IS_Aa', 'New attributes', 'Inactivated attributes', 'Cycles detected', and ' Equivalents detected'.
- Press 'Log' button to display any messages generated during classification.
