Towards an Effective Methodology for Rapidly Developing Component-Based Domain Ontologies

چکیده
As the Intelligence Community migrates from a paradigm of using disjoint, data and application stovepipes to a paradigm of shared knowledge and networkeded component services, the cost of developing appropriate domain ontologies becomes a concern. In this paper, we present a methodology for rapidly developing composite domain ontologies by linking and reusing existing ontologies. We will compare composite domain ontologies to componentbased software engineering, present a metric for measuring the compositeness of an ontology, and describe a composite domain ontology developed for real world use.

Towards a Methodology to Conceptualize the Geographic Domain
To date, there are different ontologies for many domains and applications. Users can access them in order to share information, reuse knowledge and integrate data sources for several purposes such as semantic web, data warehouse, e-learning, e-commerce, knowledge representation and so on. Ontology engineering is rapidly becoming a mature discipline, having produced tools and methodologies for b...
متن کاملAutomatic Workflow Generation and Modification by Enterprise Ontologies and Documents
This article presents a novel method and development paradigm that proposes a general template for an enterprise information structure and allows for the automatic generation and modification of enterprise workflows. This dynamically integrated workflow development approach utilises a conceptual ontology of domain processes and tasks, enterprise charts, and enterprise entities. It also suggests...

متن کاملEngineering Complex Ontologies by Assembling Modular Ontologies of Space and Time
Temporal and spatial concepts are ubiquitous in human cognition. Representing and reasoning about these concepts is therefore fundamental in Artificial Intelligence. Despite the extensive research regarding the engineering of complex domain ontologies with time and/or space, this process is still not well developed and it remains a one-off, labour intensive experience. In this paper we present ...
متن کاملTowards a methodology for ontology based model engineering
The philosophical discipline of Ontology is evolving towards an engineering discipline, and in this evolution the need for a principled methodology has clearly arisen. In this paper, we briefly discuss our recent work towards developing a methodology for ontology-based model engineering. This methodology builds on previous methodology efforts, and is founded on important analytic notions that h...
