arXiv:2606. 24619v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Competency Questions (CQs) are the central component of CQ-verification, an established process in which an ontology is evaluated against a set of natural language questions to determine whether the intended purpose of the ontology has been properly modelled.

UniDataAgent (UniDataAgent) is an ontology‑grounded system designed to automate enterprise question‑to‑report tasks while preserving organization‑specific semantics. It separates semantic acquisition from online execution, with an Ontology Acquisition and Validation (OAV) stage that builds versioned ontologies from metadata, business knowledge, and expert input, and a Question‑to‑Report Execution (QRE) stage that retrieves semantic contracts, coordinates skills and data tools, validates results, and produces evidence‑linked reports. In a deployment across 27 enterprise tables and thousands of metric types, ontology construction took a few hours versus a week manually, and report generation took minutes versus several working days, achieving 95.0% strict accuracy on real business questions compared to 72.5% for document RAG.

The pro-team at LLMs4OL 2026 presented a system for ontology learning that tackles both the End-to-End Flagship Task (Task A) and the Ontology Extension Reuse Task (Task B). Their approach uses an offline retrieval‑augmented few‑shot prompting pipeline with Qwen2.5‑14B‑Instruct and MiniLM‑L6‑v2 for retrieval, selecting top‑5 examples for Task A and top‑2 for Task B, and applies a left‑truncated context‑windowing strategy to keep task instructions in long prompts. For Task B, generated triples are filtered deterministically by a vocabulary constraint, keeping triples that involve at least one term from the closed vocabulary and removing duplicates of the initial ontology, achieving high scores in Semantic Graph Similarity, Term‑Typing F1, and Taxonomy Discovery F1, though no non‑taxonomic relations were extracted.

The paper introduces a pipeline that automatically creates ontology‑grounded multiple‑choice question benchmarks for evaluating large language models (LLMs) on logical reasoning tasks in scientific AI. By using OWL 2 ontologies, correct answers are guaranteed by design and distractors are generated and formally verified as incorrect through an OWL reasoner. Experiments on three ontologies—Pizza, PMDco, and DOID—yielded 112, 2,491, and 15,216 MCQs, respectively, with high natural‑language quality and challenging zero‑shot performance for six LLMs.
