Kanjanawattana, Sarunya; Kimura, Masaomi – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2016
A graph is an effective form of data representation used to summarize complex information. Explicit information such as the relationship between the X- and Y-axes can be easily extracted from a graph by applying human intelligence. However, implicit knowledge such as information obtained from other related concepts in an ontology also resides in…
