Abstract:
Association rules and ontologies are both domain-based knowledge. However, the first is
unexpected discovered knowledge from databases, while the second is a priori knowledge. In this paper,
based on a generic meta-schema as a common referential and theoretical foundation, we show how a set of
computed and pruned association rules can be useful in enriching a domain ontology. To this end, the meta-
schema is scanned with the itemsets appearing in each association rule. Then, according to the formal links
between the concepts or the attributes involved, a semantic-based check constraint is built. As a result, the
ontology and the database are continuously tuned with new semantics.
