Ontology Change Detection Using a Version Log
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this article, we propose a new ontology evolution approach that combines a top-down and a bottom-up approach. This means that the manual request for changes (top-down) by the ontology engineer is complemented with an automatic change detection mechanism (bottom-up). The approach is based on keeping track of the different versions of ontology concepts throughout their lifetime (called virtual versions). In this way, changes can be defined in terms of these virtual versions.

Change management in evolving web ontologies
Knowledge constantly grows in scientific discourse and is revised over time by different stakeholders, either collaboratively or through institutionalized efforts. The body of knowledge gets structured and refined as the Communities of Practice concerned with a field of knowledge develop a deeper understanding of the issues. As a result, the knowledge model moves from a loosely clustered termin...
متن کاملLayered change log model: bridging between ontology change representation and pattern mining
To date, no ontology change management system exists that records the ontology changes based on the different levels of granularity. Once changes are performed using elementary level change operations, they are recorded in the database at the elementary level accordingly. Such a change representation procedure is not sufficient to represent the intuition behind any applied change and thus, cann...
متن کاملTowards Implicit Knowledge Discovery from Ontology Change Log Data
Ontology change log data is a valuable source of information which reflects the changes in the domain, the user requirements, flaws in the initial design or the need to incorporate additional information. Ontology change logs can provide operational as well as analytical support in the ontology evolution process. In this paper, we present a novel approach to deal with change representation and ...
متن کاملDetecting Changes in Ontologies via DAG Comparison
Ontologies are shared conceptualizations of a certain domain. As such domains may change, also changes in the ontologies have to be considered, as otherwise there is no way to state which knowledge was valid at an arbitrary point in time. Various ontology version management systems deal with this problem. But often, the differences between two versions of an ontology are not known, thus, it is ...

The objective of this research is to perform automatic change detection within urban areas using multitemporal spaceborne SAR data in Shanghai. Two scenes of ENVISAT ASAR C-VV images were acquired in September, 2008 and one scene of ERS-2 SAR C-VV image was acquired in September, 1999. A generalized version of Kittler Illingworth minimum-error thresholding algorithm, that takes into account the...
