This week my focus was on meeting with my mentors, understanding my specific project requirements and gathering my datasets.\u00a0 My initial work was about creating a week-by-week plan to create a meaningful, generalizable ontology coverage tool for OWL ontologies.<\/p>\n
I spent some time looking over existing scripts and testing them to ensure the results were what I expected.\u00a0 Using these scripts I acquired the corpus I will be using in my research this summer.\u00a0 However, I also wrote some small scripts that will parse existing documents so that it will be easier to create ontologies (to allow for further testing).<\/p>\n
My second major step was gathering the ontologies.\u00a0 My mentors provided a link to some likely candidates, and we agreed to use the OWL API.\u00a0 However, as I was completely unfamiliar with the this API, I spent some time using tutorials and walking through example code to understand it.\u00a0 At this point, I have written some code that can read in existing ontologies, add various features to those ontologies, and check for whether features exist within an ontology.\u00a0 I have also written scripts that download a series of ontologies (to create a sufficient dataset for my research for the rest of the summer).<\/p>\n
I currently have both a corpus and all the SWEET ontologies.\u00a0 However, with my current scripts, it would be somewhat trivial to acquire a larger dataset (e.g., more corpses and ontologies) if that proves necessary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
