An entropy-based class assignment detection approach for RDF data

The RDF-style Knowledge Bases usually contain a certain level of noises known as Semantic Web data quality issues. This paper has introduced a new Semantic Web data quality issue called Incorrect Class Assignment problem that shows the incorrect assignment between instances in the instance-level and corresponding classes in an ontology. We have proposed an approach called CAD (Class Assignment Detector) to find the correctness and incorrectness of relationships between instances and classes by analyzing features of classes in an ontology. Initial experiments conducted on a dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of CAD.
