Owl2vcs: Tools for Distributed Ontology Development
نویسندگان
چکیده
The collaborative development of web ontologies is an important topic being actively researched. In this paper, we present a set of tools that facilitate collaborative development of web ontologies using distributed version control systems. The main purpose of these tools is to replace inefficient built-in diff and three-way merge tools, which rely on text representation rather than on ontology structure. Being based on popular distributed version control systems, owl2vcs can be easily integrated into popular issue trackers.

Large-Scale Repositories of Highly Expressive Reusable Knowledge
We describe an ongoing project to develop technology that will support collaborative construction and effective use of distributed large-scale repositories of highly expressive reusable ontologies. We are focusing on developing a distributed server architecture for ontology construction and use, representation formalisms that remove key barriers to expressing essential knowledge in and about on...
متن کاملInvestigating Collaboration Dynamics in Different Ontology Development Environments
Understanding the processes and dynamics behind the collaborative construction of ontologies will enable the development of quality ontologies in distributed settings. In this paper, we investigate the collaborative processes behind ontology development with two Web-based modeling tools, WebProtégé and MoKi. We performed a quantitative analysis of user activity logs from both tools. This analys...
متن کاملDistributed Repositories of Highly Expressive Reusable Ontologies
We present a vision of next generation tools and services that will enable the widespread development and use of computer interpretable ontologies. Central to that vision is the notion of distributed ontology repositories resident on multiple ontology servers containing large-scale highly structured ontologies and supported by sophisticated ontology construction, testing, merging, extraction, r...
متن کاملThe Semantic Web takes Wing: Programming Ontologies with Tawny-OWL
The Tawny-OWL library provides a fully-programmatic environment for ontology building; it enables the use of a rich set of tools for ontology development by recasting development as a form of programming. It is built in Clojure – a modern Lisp dialect, and is backed by the OWL API. Used simply, it has a similar syntax to OWL Manchester syntax, but it provides arbitrary extensibility and abstrac...
متن کاملOntoLT: A Protégé Plug-In for Ontology Extraction from Text
Ontologies are views of the world that tend to evolve rapidly over time and between different applications. Currently, ontologies are often developed in a specific context with a specific goal in mind. However, it is ineffective and costly to build ontologies for each new purpose each time from scratch, which may cause a major barrier for their large-scale use in knowledge markup for the Semant...
