Ontology-Based Data Summarization Engine: A Design Methodology.

Data summarization has recently received considerable attention in the information technology community. This design research paper discusses the methodology and principles of the design of data summarization engine. Based on an initial analysis of requirement representations in data summarization, it proposes a generic organization of ontology for data summarization engine. Furthermore, this paper proposes a design framework for data summarization engine that uses the ontology as the fundamental structure of the interactive user-computer interface. A prototype project of ontology-based data summarization engine for summarizing the data incompleteness demonstrates the effectiveness of the design of ontology-based data summarization engine.
