Integrating Ontology into Semantic File Systems
Abstract
Semantic file systems enhance standard file systems with the ability of file searching based on file semantics. In this paper, we propose to integrate the support for ontologies into a file system to build efficient semantic file systems whose file semantics can be shared between users, applications and semantic file systems themselves. We call it ontology-based file system. We identify three existing types of file semantics: property-based, content-based and context-based semantics and adopt multi-ontology layer approach to enhance file semantic systems with four file semantic characteristics: file semantic representability, file semantic extensibility, file semantic standardization, and interoperability.
