Successfully managing analytics-based semantic relationships and their provenance enables determinations of document importance and priority, furthering capabilities for machine-based relevancy scoring operations. Semantic technologies are well suited for modeling explicit and fully qualified relationships but struggle with modeling relationships that are qualified in nature, or resultant from applied analytics. Our work seeks to implement the autonomous Directed Qualification of analytic-based relationships by pairing the Prov-O Ontology (W3C Recommendation) with a relevancy ontology supporting analytics terminology. This work results in the capability for any semantically referenced document, concept, or named graph to be associated with the results of applied analytics as Direct Qualification (DQ) modeled relational nodes. This new capability will enable role, identity, or any other content-based measures of relevancy and analytics-based metrics for semantically described documents.

Successfully modeling state and analytics-based semantic relationships of documents enhances representation, importance, relevancy, provenience, and priority of the document. These attributes are the core elements that form the machine-based knowledge representation for documents. However, modeling document relationships that can change over time can be inelegant, limited, complex or overly burdensome for semantic technologies. In this paper, we present Direct Qualification (DQ), an approach for modeling any semantically referenced document, concept, or named graph with results from associated applied analytics. The proposed approach supplements the traditional subject-object relationships by providing a third leg to the relationship; the qualification of how and why the relationship exists. To illustrate, we show a prototype of an event-based system with a realistic use case for applying DQ to relevancy analytics of PageRank and Hyperlink-Induced Topic Search (HITS).
