Abstract

The encoding and exploitation of semantics has been gaining popularity, as exemplified by the uptake of digital ontologies and knowledge graphs. However, the semantics of domain objects usually do not reflect how they evolved over time, i.e., which events their dynamic transitions are based on. While a number of methods have been proposed to trace events and their impacts on a domain, there is a paucity of approaches to effectively join them. Thus, we combine event calculus as an analytical approach for modeling causal relationships between events and effects with semantic drifts as an empirical approach for quantifying the impact of domain updates. We demonstrate how their respective weaknesses can be addressed and how their interaction can improve the representation of semantic transitions.
