Abstract

Forensic ballistics is the domain that analyzes the firearm usage in crimes, thus assisting in exposing connections between crime scenes. While concept of the ballistics domain is strict and well defined; to the best of our knowledge, there is no standard representation of knowledge on this domain open to the public use. In our study, we represent an open ballistics domain ontology in a ballistics identification system and our aim is to acquire an effective reasoning capability. The proposed ontology, models the real world relationships between the concepts, thus forming a very close semantic representation of the ballistics domain. Therefore, in our ontology, reasoning capability is effectively used in order to set up relationships between concepts automatically.
