Holistic knowledge representation for semantic modeling of structured data

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product for generating a semantic model of data comprising a plurality of data items. Semantic concepts are identified for each data item in the plurality of data items. Data concepts are identified for each data item in the plurality of data items based on data characteristics of the data item and using a data ontology that defines the data concepts that are used to represent the data characteristics. The semantic model of the data is generated using the semantic concepts and the data concepts identified for the plurality of data items.
