Abstract
Ontology  represents  the  concepts  and  the  relationship  between  them  for
specialized  domain.  Building  ontology  is  a  complex  work,  in  order  to  build
ontology you need a domain expert  to help you  to declare all domain concepts
and the relationship between them. In this work we propose a methodology for
building  ontology  based  on  the  output  of  data  mining  result. We  used  c4.5
decision  tree algorithm  to discover and extract knowledge from structure data.
Then  we  built  ontology  from  the  generated  decision  tree.   We  represent  the
generated ontology in XML and OWL languages. We work in two case studies;
in  the  first  case  study  we  work  in  soybean  diseases,  and  built  ontology  to
represent  the  knowledge  of  diseases  and  their  symptoms.  In  the  second  case
study we work  in animal diseases and extracted  the knowledge related to them
and we built ontology from the extracted knowledge.

1.  Introduction
Data Mining is the process of finding and extracting new and potentially useful
knowledge  from  data. Data mining  is  also known  as Knowledge discovery  in
databases  (KDD).  The  terms  “Data  mining”  and  “Knowledge  discovery  in
database” are used interchangeably [1]. Data mining is an interdisciplinary field,
drawing  from  different  areas  including  database  system,  statistics,  machine
learning, data visualization and information retrieval.
The  task of data mining involves two primary goals; those goals are prediction
and description [2]. Prediction is concerned with using some variables or fields
in the database to predict unknown or future values of other variable of interest,
while  description  focuses  on  finding  human-interpretable  patterns  describing
the data. 1.1 What Is the Ontology
The  word  “ontology”  has  been  recognized  in  philosophy  as  the  subject  of
existence.  In  Artificial  Intelligence  community,  ontology  means  a  formal,
explicit specification of a shared conceptualization. Conceptualization refers to
an  abstract  model  of  some  world  phenomena.  Ontology  concepts  and  the
relationship  among  those  concepts  should  be  explicitly  defined.  Further,
ontology  should  be  machine-readable  and  the  ontology  should  capture
consensual knowledge accepted by the community [13].
Ontology  is  used  for  knowledge  sharing  and  reuse.  It  improves  information
organization, management and understanding. Ontology has a significant role in
the areas dealing with vast amounts of distributed and heterogeneous computer-
based information, such as World Wide Web, Intranet information systems, and
electronic commerce. Ontology will play a key role in the second generation of
the  web,  which  Tim  Berners-Lee  callthe  “Semantic  Web”,  in  which
information  is  given well-defined meaning,  and  is machine-readable.    Search
engines  will  use  ontology  to  find  pages  with  words  that  are  syntactically
different but semantically similar [3, 4, and 5].
 
2.  Related Work
Usually  the  ontology  building  is  performed  manually,  but  researchers  try  to
build  ontology  automatically  or  semi  automatically  to  save  the  time  and  the
efforts of building  the ontology. We  survey  in  this  section  the most  important
approaches that generate ontologies from data.
Clerkin  et  al.  used  concept  clustering  algorithm  (COBWEB)  to  discover
automatically and generate ontology. They argued    that   such   an   approach    is 
highly  appropriate  to  domains  where  no  expert  knowledge  exists, and  they 
propose  how they  might  employ  software  agents  to collaborate, in the place
of human beings, on the construction of shared ontologies[6].
Blaschke et al. presented a methodology  that creates  structured knowledge  for
gene-product  function  directly  from  the  literature.  They  apply  an  iterative
statistical  information extraction method combined with  the nearest neighbour
clustering to create ontology structure [7].
Formal  Concept  Analysis  (FCA)  is  an  effective  technique  that  can  formally
abstract data  as  conceptual  structures  [9]. Quan  et  al. proposed  to  incorporate
fuzzy  logic  into  FCA  to  enable  FCA  to  deal  with  uncertainty  in  data  and
interpret the concept hierarchy reasonably, the proposed framework is known as
Fuzzy  Formal  Concept  Analysis  (FFCA).They  use  FFCA  for  automatic
generation of ontology for scholarly semantic web [8]. Dahab  et  al.  presented  a  framework  for  constructing  ontology  from  natural
English  text  namely TextOntEx. TextOntEx  constructs  ontology  from  natural
domain  text  using  semantic  pattern-based  approach,  and  analyzes  natural
domain  text  to  extract  candidate  relations,  then  maps  them  into  meaning
representation to facilitate ontology representation [11]
Wrobel  etal.  used  different ways  to  build  ontologies  automatically,  based  on
data mining  outputs  represented  by  rule  sets  or  decision  trees. They  used  the
semantic  web  languages,  RDF,  RDF-S  and  DAML+OIL  for  defining 
ontologies [10]. 
 
3.  Problem Scope and Definition
The  traditional  task of the knowledge engineer is to translate the knowledge of
the expert  into  the knowledge base of  the expert  system. Knowledge engineer
uses ontology  to represent  the knowledge of  the domain expert. Due  to   of  the
difficulty to find a domain  expert and the needing for updating the knowledge
represented  in  the  ontology  frequently,  we  proposed  a  system  for  building
ontology automatically  from  the database. We used data mining  techniques  to
extract knowledge from the   database and represent it as ontology.
 
4.  System Overview 
In  this  section we will  discuss  system  structure. The  input  to  the  system  is  a
database  that  represents  a  repository  of  raw  data,  while  the  output  is  the
generated ontology. Figure 1 showsthe overall structure of the system.
 
Figure 1 overall structure of the system
 Ontology building from data mining will be achieved  in  two phases. The data
mining  phase  is  related  to  data  mining  process  including  data  preparation,
selection, and extraction of knowledge. The ontology building phase is related
to  the  process  of  building  the  ontology  from  the  extracted  knowledge which
represents the output of the data mining.
 
4.1 The Data mining component 
As depicted in figure1 the first step in data mining phase is data preparation, the
next step is data mapping, the third step is applying data mining techniques for
discovering knowledge from the mapped data.
 
4.1.1  Data preparation
For data preparation  the knowledge engineer will understand  the  semantics of
the  data  and  specify  which  tables  and  attributes  will  be  used  in  the mining
process. The Knowledge engineer may create a view  in  the database  if he will
work in a set of associated tables.
4.1.2  Data mapping
Data mapping is the process of representing raw data into format suitable to the
selected data mining tool or algorithm. In the proposed system we build module
for data mapping and we call (Data Mapper).
In  the proposed  system Data Mapper will be used  to  transform  the  input data
into  ARFF  format  which  is  used  by WEKA  (collection  of machine  learning
algorithms) [12]. This module converts the input data into a nominal format to
suit ontology builder requirements.
The  input for  this module  is  the database connection variables such as severer
IP, username, password, and the database name.
The data-mapping module will display a list of all database tables and views as
shown in figure 2. 
The user of  this module will specify which database  table or view  that will be
mined; further he will select the attributes which will be used in the data mining
process 
Figure 2 Data mapper module
 
The output of this module will be an ARFF file that contains the mined data.
 
4.1.3  Applying Data mining techniques for discovering
knowledge from data
The  third  step  is discovering knowledge  from  the preprocessed data. We used
Weka framework because it is an open source package. The task of data mining
will  be  classification. Many  algorithms  can  be  used  for  classification  such  as
Support  vector  machine,  Neural  Network  and  decision  tree.  We  select  the
decision  tree  algorithm  because  it  introduces  the  discovered  knowledge  in
readable format.
We  select  (j4.8)  decision  tree  algorithm, which  is Weka’s  implementation  of
c4.5 decision tree learner. 
C4.5  is  an  extension  to  id3  algorithm.  It  addresses  issues  not  dealt with  ID3
such as:
•  Avoiding  over  fitting  the  data,  by  determining  how  deeply  to  grow  a
decision tree.
•  Handling continuous attributes. 
•  Handling training data with missing attribute values.  4.2 The Ontology Building Phase 
At  this  phase  the  ontology  builder  will  be  used  to  generate  the  ontology
automatically  from  the  data mining  output  (extracted  knowledge).  In  the next
section we will discuss  the ontology builder, and  the algorithm  that  is used  to
generate ontology form data mining output.
 
4.2.1  The Ontology Builder 
The  Ontology  builder  is  the  main  component  in  our  system.  It  is  used  for
parsing  the  output  of  the  data mining  result  and  generating  an  ontology. The
ontology builder will generate ontology in two languages (XML & OWL).
In the first phase of our work we have generated ontology in XML format but to
keep  our  work  more  standard  and  to  support  the  semantic  web  vision  we
extended  the  tool  to  generate  ontology  in  OWL.  The  input  of  the  ontology
builder  is  the  file  that contains  the decision  tree  represented  in  textual  format.
This decision tree represents the output of the data mining process. 
Figure  3  displays  the  components  of  the  decision  tree  and  its  corresponding
representation in the generated OWL ontology.
 
Figure 3 mapping decision tree to OWL ontology
 
In decision  trees, decision nodes  refer  to  the  root node and  internal nodes. As
can  be  seen  in  figure  3,  decision  nodes  can  be  mapped  to  OWL  classes.
Decision tree branches can also be represented in OWL as classes. Each branch
in  the  decision  tree may  have  a  set  of  leaves.  Each  leaf  in  the  decision  tree
represents  a  classification  rule. Each  rule  can  be  represented  as  an  individual
(instance) of the class that represents its tree branch.
 
 4.2.2  The Ontology Building Algorithm
The ontology building algorithm from decision tree is represented as follows:
Input: 
•  A decision tree.
•  decision-nodes, the set of distinct decision nodes
•  tree-branches, the set of distinct tree branches
•  target-attribute, the target attribute
•  Get-Branches, a function to get all branches which include
specific node
•  GetLeaveBranch , a function to get the branch of the leaf node.
•  Get-Class, a function to get the class that represent decision tree
branch
•  Create-Individual, a function to create an individual for the leaf
node.
 
Output: ontology
 
Method:
BEGIN
for each node N of decision-nodes
    Class C=new (owl:Class)
     C.Id= N.name  
      DatatypeProperty DP=new (owl:DatatypeProperty)
     Dp.Id= N.name+”_Value”
     Dp.AddDomain(C)
     for each branch B of Get-Branches(N)
         Dp. AddDomain (B.Get-Class ())
     endfor
endfor
 
//Generate an OWL class that represents the target-attribute
 
Class TargetClass= new (owl:Class)
TargetClass.Id= target-attribute.name
DatatypeProperty TargetDP=new (owl:DatatypeProperty)
//Generate DatatypeProperty for the target attribute
TargetDP.Id= target-attribute.name+”_Value”
TargetDP.AddDomain (TargetClass)
//Generate DatatypeProperty that represent certainty
DatatypeProperty CertaintyDP=new (owl:DatatypeProperty)
CertaintyDP.Id= “Certainty
//Generate classes that represent decision tree branches for each branch B of tree-branches
   Class BranchClass= new (owl:Class)
   BranchClass.Id=””
   for each node N of B
      BranchClass.Id += N.name
   endfor
   BranchClass.Id+=”determine”+ target-attribute.name
   TargetDP.AddDomain(BranchClass)
   CertaintyDP.AddDomain(BranchClass)
endfor
//Representing leaves nodes as individuals
for each leave-node LN of the decision tree
   Branch B= GetLeaveBranch(LN) 
   Create-Individual (B, LN)
endfor
END
 
5.  System Evaluation
In order  to  evaluate  the proposed  system we  conducted  two case  studies. The
first  case  study  is  concerned with  plant  diseases  and  the  second  case  study  is
concerned with veterinary diseases.
The goal of  the first case study  is  to assess  the performance of  the system and
approve  the  validity  of  the  generated  ontology.  The  goal  of  the  second  case
study is to build ontology for real live system. 
 
5.1    Building Ontology for Soybean Diseases  
We used the proposed system for generating ontology of soybean diseases. We
get the data from the samples that are augmented to WEKA “data mining tool”.
There are 35 categorical attributes, Number of instance 683; number of classes
(diseases) 19.
We used classification algorithm c4.5 for soybean data. The result of c4.5  is a
decision tree.
 Number  of  Correctly  Classified  Instances  625  (91.5081%),  Number  of
incorrectly Classified Instances 58 (8.4919 %).
We built ontology for the knowledge represented in the decision tree.
To evaluate  the knowledge  represented  in  the generated ontology we compare
the  symptoms  of  sample  of  the  most  common  diseases  (7  diseases  for
simplicity) in the generated ontology with the domain expert knowledge.  We  used  the  standard  measures  of  precision,  recall,  and  F-score  (which
represents the harmonic mean of precision and recall) to evaluate otology [14].
The calculations were based on a global contingency table shown in table 1.
 
Domain expert
Symptoms
YES  NO
YES  TP  FP  The
Generated
Ontology
NO
FN  TN
Table 1 Global contingency table
•  TP  (true  positives)  represents  symptoms  that  are  identified  by  the
domain expert and the generated ontology.
•  FP  (false  positives)  represents  symptoms  that  are  identified  by  the
generated ontology but are not identified by the domain expert.
•  FN  (false  negatives)  represents  symptoms  that  are  identified  by  the
domain expert but are not identified by the generated ontology.
•  TN  (True Negatives)  represents  symptoms  that  are  not  identified  by
both domain expert and the generated ontology.
Precision = TP / (TP + FP)
Recall       = TP/ (TP +FN)
F-score = (2* Precision * Recall) / (Precision + Recall)
Table 2 shows contingency table for soybean disease symptoms
 
Domain expert  Symptoms
  YES  NO
YES  115  1  Data
mining
NO  10  0
Table 2 contingency table for soybean disease
This case study resulted precision=99.13%, a recall=92%,  F-score =95.43%
From this result we conclude that the generated ontology is similar to the expert
knowledge and we can apply our idea to build ontology automatically using
data mining techniques when the expert is not available or to help us to get
knowledge from the expert to build ontology in semi automatic manner. 5.2 Building Ontology for BOVIS
In this case study we build ontology from BOVine Information System (BOVIS
using data mining  techniques. BOVIS has been developed by CLAES (Central
Laboratory  of  Agriculture  expert  system)  in  co-operation  with  The  Public
Institute  for  Veterinary  Services  at  Egypt.  BOVIS  is  a  system  that  enables
decision  makers  to  obtain  statistical  data  about  cattle  and  buffaloes  on  the
national  level.  It  helps  in  the  tracing  and  management  of  contagious 
diseases.  [15].  Data  mining  will  help  decision  maker  to  discover  useful
knowledge and hidden pattern  from  the data. For mining  the BOVIS database
we  focus  in  tables  and  attributes  which  are  related  to  animal  diseases.  The
animal  diseases  data  includes  information  about  country,  governorate,
Directorate,  units,  species, genus,  sex  in  addition  to diseases which  infect  the
animal  and  the  date  of  the  diagnosis.  In  this  case  study  we  used  the  data
mapping component to generate ARFF file to be mined by WEKA. 
Figure (5) shows the generated decision tree for BOVIS diseases data. We used
the classification algorithm J4.8 which is updated version of C4.5 algorithm.

 In  the  generated  decision  tree  Each  leaf  node  are  fallowed  by  a  number
(sometimes two) in parenthis. The first number tells how many instances in the
training set are correctly classified by this node. The second number, if it exists
(if  not,  it  is  taken  to  be  0.0),  represents  the  number  of  instances  incorrectly
classified by the node[16].
From  the  generated  decision  tree  that  represents  animal  diseases  in  BOVIS
database  we  generate  ontology  in  XML  and  OWL  languages.  Here  we  will
display description of the generated ontology in OWL.
 
5.2.1  Description of the generated ontology 
The    classes  that  represent decision nodes  (Category, Year, Gender, Genus,
and Governorate) and    the   class  that represents a   target attribute (Disorder) 
are displayed in figure (6)
 
 
Figure 6 Classes that represent decision nodes and target attribute
 
Part of The classes that represent decision tree branches are displayed in
 figure (7)
 
 
Figure (7) classes that represent decision tree branches
 
Ontology builder created a Data type Property for each distinct decision nodes.
For example ontology builder created a data type property for the decision node
“Gender”. The ID of this property will be 
“Gender _value” as displayed in figure (8). 
 
<owl:Class rdf:ID="CategoryDetermineDisorder" />
<owl:Class rdf:ID="CategoryYearDetermineDisorder" />
<owl:Class rdf:ID="CategoryGenderGenusDetermineDisorder" />

<owl:Class rdf:ID="Gender" />
<owl:Class rdf:ID="Genus" />
<owl:Class rdf:ID="Governorate" />
 <owl:Class rdf:ID="Disorder" /> 
 
Figure (8) example for the generated data type property of the decision node
 
The domain of the “Gender _value” will be the class “Gender” in addition to
the classes that represent tree branches which includes “Gender “node.
Each  rule  generated  by  the  decision  tree will  be  represented  as  an  individual
(instance) for the class that represents its decision tree branch. Figure (9) shows
part of the OWL syntax for the individuals that represents these rules

 6.  Comparison between the proposed system and Wrobel et
al work
The proposed system is similar to the approach presented by Wrobel et al. The
contribution of this paper is the method of ontology representation and building.
We build ontology  in a way  that  is  suitable  to all cases of data. We  represent
distinct  decision  nodes  as  an  OWL  classes.  Also  we  represent  decision  tree
branches  as  OWL  classes.  In  our  approach  each  leaf  in  the  decision  tree
represents  a  classification  rule. Each  rule  can  be  represented  as  an  individual
(instance) of the class that represents its tree branch.
But Wrobel et al represent each node as a class. And they represent the tree as
class  hierarchies.  And  we  find  that  this  representation  is  not  suitable  to
represent all types of data. For example in the case of BOVIS the representation
of  class  Year  will  be  a  class  for  example  Year_3_2  which  is  sub  class  of
Category1_3. But  in  realty Year  is not a sub class of Category.  In Our system
we will not define the class Year as a sub class of Category. We just define the
relation between classes  that occur  in same branch as a class whose name  is a
concatenated string of all classes names  that appear  in the decision tree branch
plus the word determine. 
For Example in the BOVIS case study the relation between Category, Year, are
represented  as  OWL  class  CategoryYearDetermineDisorder.  This  class  has
three data type properties , The first data type property represent the “Category”
class,  and  the  second  data-type  property  represents    the  class  “Year”  and  the
third data type property represent the class “Disorder” 
Also  our  system  generates  ontology  in  OWL  but  Wrobel  et  al  represent
ontology in RDF or DAML+OIL.
OWL  facilitates  machine  interpretability  of  web  content  greater  than  that
supported RDF and DAML + OIL. 
 
7.  Conclusion and Future Work
In  this paper we proposed a methodology  for building ontology  that  represent
the knowledge of specific domain using data mining techniques. We proposed a
system  that  represents  the discovered knowledge  in OWL  format. This system
will help us in building an expert system based on the data mining result. In this
paper we introduce two cases study, one of them for representing plant diseases
and the other for representing animal disease
 For  future  work  we  propose  the  idea  of  helping  the  knowledge  engineer  to
acquire  knowledge  from  the  domain  expert. Knowledge  engineer will use  the
extracted knowledge as a guide in acquiring knowledge from the domain expert.
The  domain  expert will  validate  the  extracted  knowledge,  and  remember  the
missed knowledge. Also,  for  future work we will  investigate  the methodology
for building ontology from unstructured data such web pages and documents. 8. References
