Method to summary ontology's Abox in semantic Web of things.

At present, the volume of ontology's Abox in semantic Web of things is always too large, which is not easy for users to understand or reason about ontology. To solve this problem, this paper proposed a method based on equivalence relation. Summary ontology's Abox through searching, mapping and deleting the equivalence individuals. It designed and implemented a prototype system of ontology Abox's summarization. Some experimental examples of public ontologies prove that on the premise of reserving the original semantics, this method can streamline the redundant assertions of ontology's Abox, decrease ontology's volume, reduce storage pressure, so that it can be more convenient for ontology understanding, reusing and other ontology-related operations.
