Ontology Engineering by Combining Ontology Patterns

Building proper reference ontologies is a hard task. There are a number of methods and tools that traditionally have been used to support this task. These include foundational theories, reuse of domain and core ontologies, development methods, and software tool support. In this context, an approach that has gained increased attention in recent years is the systematic application of ontology pat...

Applying Ontology Modularization for Corporate Ontology Engineering

As an innovative approach for developing and maintaining continuously evolving ontologies in corporate context the Corporate Ontology Lifecycle Methodology aims at providing an intuitive understanding of rising costs per iteration. In this regard having a close look at ontology partitioning techniques as well as module extraction approaches is very promising, because modular reuse of ontologies...

Ontology engineering for robotics

Ontologies are a powerfull alternative to reinforcement learning. They store knowledge in a domain-specific language. The best-practice for implementing ontologies is a distributed version control system which is filled manually by programmers.

Ontology Engineering Methodology

In this chapter we present a methodology for introducing and maintaining ontology based knowledge management applications into enterprises with a focus on Knowledge Processes and Knowledge Meta Processes. While the former process circles around the usage of ontologies, the latter process guides their initial set up. We illustrate our methodology by an example from a case study on skills managem...
