Hi Yefim, (01)
Do you have history databases (preferably large ones) with the data
available for examination? You can detect relationships among the columns
by partitioning the column data values into groups with similarities in
syntax and/or semantics. One way to do this is just to sort the column
values, then group the ones that are identical. That reduces the variety by
the incidence factor. Then find groups with identical signatures, using
various templates to generalize or specialize each template from each group
of values. (02)
Iterate until the classes and relationships are known better. THEN develop
an ontology that covers at LEAST those explicit examples, handling each one
in a responsive way. (03)
Take a look at
www.Englishlogickernel.com/patent-7-209-923-B1.PDF
(copy and paste into your browser URL slot) (04)
The specification describes a way to discover the existing classes and
relationships among the transactions you know are really being performed.
At least that way your ontology will start with conformance to actual needs,
and you can add lots of ornaments as you wish. You can theorize about the
data, experiment to see if your theories are valid, classify more deeply
based on the column value differences within each class, and observe the way
data was entered by the very people who will enter data into your new
ontology. (05)
To discover classes and relationships among patent documents as an example,
use the free downloadable Elk for Patents program suite. (06)

I can share some initial steps of working on the Loan ontology at Sallie Mae
and participating in the collaborative work on financial ontology together
with EDMC and some other institutions. (010)
1. Start with the main classes and subclasses like:
Actor (Customer, Borrower, etc.)
Event (FinancialTransaction, etc.)
Account (CheckingAccount, CreditAccount, etc.)
Currency (USD, etc.) (011)
2. Start establishing relationships between the classes:
Customer transfers Currency to CheckingAccount (012)
3. Create the rules to determine anomalies, fraud issues, etc.
If .... (013)
-------------------
While creating the rules, you realize that you need to add and to change
your ontology. (014)
Do this. (015)
Remember, that you create your ontology for a specific purpose, so make the
closest loop to check if this purpose is met. (016)
Hope, this helps you started, (017)

Subject: [ontolog-forum] Modeling a money transferring scenario (019)
Hi ontologs, (020)
I would like to get your ideas about modeling a financial
organization's (e.g. a bank) money transaction ontology using OWL
(1). Suppose that a bank wants to track the accounts of the customers
in order to determine anomalies, fraud issues or just to ensure that
everything is OK at the end of the day. I have come up with a solution
which caused a discussion among my colleagues mostly ended with a
disagreement. Right below I am giving only a clipped portion of the
draft ontology at a glance. (021)
The absolute classes(i.e. concepts) are Bank, Money, Customer and
Account. When it comes to represent a money transfer between two
accounts, I suggested to create another class named "MoneyTransfer" on
which one can create object properties such as transferDate, amount
etc. On the flip side, others put the MoneyTransfer class aside and
preferred to create an object property named "transfersMoney" which
has a domain and range of Account. However it is obvious that
transfersMoney property is just a relation between to individuals
representing none of the date and amount information. (022)
I would greatly appreciate if you could explain your point of view and
show me what the alternatives could possibly be. I also would be
thankful if you refer any other ontology regarding that issue. (023)
Cheers, (024)
Selcuk (025)
