LOD:KCAP analysis/PathDescription
From STLab
The table below indicates how to draw a table for describing paths to the aim of analyzing LOD patterns. A path is described through an ordered list of properties, which are used in the triple sequences that instantiate the path. Each property is associated to a position in the path, a subject type, and an object type. Hence, we define a path as composed by a number of elements equal to its length. A path has (i) a length (min 2), given by the number of properties that compose it, (ii) a number of occurrences, which is the number of its instances in the analysed dataset.
| Name of the column | Explanation | Associated semantic entity |
|---|---|---|
| Length | The length of the path, which is given by the number of triples observed in its occurrences, hence the number of properties that compose it. | |
| Properties | The ordered list of properties composing the path. For example, a path of length 3 could be (linkedmdb:cinematographer, linkedmdb:performance, linkedmdb:film_character) | |
| Types | The actual types use in the triples (in the respective order) as they are observed in the path occurrences. E.g. (linkedmdb:film, foaf:Person, linkedmdb:film, linkedmdb:performance, linkedmdb:film_character) | |
| Number of path occurrences | The number of instances of that path retrieved in the analysed dataset. | |
| Knowledge Pattern | One or more existing knowledge patterns that can be matched to some extent to the observed path e.g. because they include it. | |
| Comments | Useful remarks to the interpretation of the analysis. |
