Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional attribute graphs or semantic graphs are used for knowledge modeling, then the structure is simple and easy to implement, but the semantic representation capability is insufficient for complex industrial big data scenarios

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesemantic representation capabilityVSAvoidgraph structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the attribute value types into three distinct categories: basic types (for simple data types), standard types (for fixed format data), and concept types (for multi-level hierarchical structures). This segmentation allows the knowledge graph to handle complex semantic representations by appropriately categorizing different attribute values, thereby improving adaptability without unnecessarily complicating the overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new dimension of classification by adding concept types with multi-level hierarchical structures to the traditional basic type classification. This dimensional extension enables the knowledge graph to represent complex semantic relationships and hierarchical concepts, enhancing semantic representation capability while maintaining the fundamental attribute graph structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Adaptability or versatility

If complex graph structures are adopted to improve semantic representation, then the semantic capability is enhanced, but the modeling efficiency and structure normalization are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesemantic representation capabilityVSAvoidknowledge modeling efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of attribute value type classification by introducing standard types and concept types with specific structural characteristics. This parameter change enables automated type matching and validation during data processing, which improves modeling efficiency through standardized handling while maintaining enhanced semantic representation capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary classification and definition of attribute value types (basic, standard, concept) during the ontology design phase. This preliminary action establishes a standardized framework that guides subsequent data processing and knowledge modeling operations, thereby improving modeling efficiency through pre-defined structures and reducing the complexity of ad-hoc processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If basic type classification is used for attribute values, then the data type representation is simple, but the fixed format and multi-level structure representation are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattribute value structure representationVSAvoidontology definition complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments attribute value representation into three distinct type categories: basic types for simple data, standard types for fixed format requirements, and concept types for multi-level hierarchical structures. This segmentation enables appropriate representation for each data characteristic without requiring a single complex structure to handle all cases, thus improving adaptability while managing ontology definition complexity through clear categorization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Some embodiments of this specification disclose a knowledge graph construction method and system. The method includes: obtaining ontology definition data of a knowledge graph, where the ontology definition data includes node definition data of a plurality of nodes, the node definition data includes a node attribute value type, the node attribute value type is a basic type, a standard type, or a concept type, the basic type is used to represent a data type of an attribute value, the standard type is used to represent a fixed format of the attribute value, and the concept type is used to represent a multi-level structure of the attribute value; and processing instance data based on the ontology definition data to obtain the knowledge graph that includes a node instance of a standard type attribute value and/or a concept type attribute value.
