Abstract
Sak Yan Ontology (SYO) models knowledge derived from Thai tattoos in the design of cultural heritage preservation planning. Ontology Development 101 is a technique of ontology model creation. The aims of this study are to share the performance of ontology development and ontology evaluation. The study is specifically focused on validation from domain experts and automation evaluated using the OOPS! tools (OntOlogy Pitfall Scanner is a tool that helps detect some of the most common pitfalls appearing when developing ontologies). The results obtained from OOPS! show that SYO is devoid of critical errors; however, it does have one critical, three important, and three minor problems. Four of the problems are fixed, whereas the others are continuous. The combination of automatic and human validation methodologies improves the quality of the ontology being modeled. The tools enhance the traditional methodology with quicker, easier, and smaller amounts of subjective analysis. In conclusion, for the reparation movement, solutions for the above problems are suggested.
Highlights
Yantras have become commonly recognized by Western people attracted to the mysterious and pious belief systems of East and Southeast Asia
The continuing pitfall, P11, was due to an OOPS! Limitation, and the manuals outlined by other scholars
This paper presented approaches, ontology modeling construction, and an ontology evaluation by manual and automatic methods, that is, creating an ontology by knowledge engineering, a human ontology evaluation, and OOPS! for validating Sak Yan Ontology (SYO)
Summary
Yantras have become commonly recognized by Western people attracted to the mysterious and pious belief systems of East and Southeast Asia. Yantras are referred to as the same by the Pali (P) or as Sak Yan in Thai (Th). From the perspective of Western people, Sak Yan might be considered a “magic charm”. Sak Yan combines the use of holy words and a sacred geometry with the magical use of various methods for making the fine art, skills (handicraft), and knowledge of superpowers natural. The preparation of Sak Yan is commonly dependent upon the working experience and knowledge of mantra (Sk), tantra (Sk), and astrology. Sak Yan is sometimes called the physical expression of a mantra [1]
