CMAPS Supporting the Development of OWL Ontologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present MAP2OWL, a software tool that allows the development of OWL ontologies as concept maps. MAP2OWL uses existing OWL constructs to represent conceptual maps; in this way, domain experts develop ontolologies in a graphical conceptual way, not having to be aware of syntactic matters, or issues related to interfaces that were designed for knowledge engineers. MAP2OWL facilitates the transitions form concepts to classes as well as relations to properties –as specified by OWL. MAP2OWL natively uses OWL; there is no translation from the concept map format to OWL. The tool is build as a Protégé plug-in, MAP2OWL establishes a real time interaction with the OWL protégé plug-in; as the concept map is being developed, an OWL file is being generated. This OWL file can, at any time, be manipulated by the Protégé OWL plug-in, or by any other Protégé Plug-in. The software can be downloaded from http://map2owl.sourceforge.net/.

Using C-OWL for the alignment and merging of medical ontologies
A number of sophisticated medical ontologies have been created over the past years. With their development the need for supporting the alignment of different ontologies is gaining importance. We proposed C-OWL, an extension of the Web Ontology Language OWL that supports alignment mappings between different, possibly incompatible ontologies on a semantic level. In this paper we report experience...
متن کاملOntoKBEval: DL-based Evaluation of OWL Ontologies
The Ontology Knowledge Base Evaluation Tool (OntoKBEval) supports users in evaluating ontologies with the help of the OWL-DL reasoner RacerPro. OntoKBEval offers hierarchical diagrams describing the structure of OWL-DL ontologies divided into the description logics view of TBoxes and ABoxes. The three main methods for supporting ontology evaluation are: (i) quick-view (providing a keyword searc...
متن کاملONTO-PERL: An API for supporting the development and analysis of bio-ontologies
MOTIVATION Many biomedical ontologies use OBO or OWL as knowledge representation language. The rapid increase of such ontologies calls for adequate tools to facilitate their use. In particular, there is a pressing need to programmatically deal with such ontologies in many applications, including data integration, text mining, as well as semantic applications supporting translational research. ...
متن کاملDeclutter Your Justifications: Determining Similarity Between OWL Explanations
Given the high expressivity of the Web Ontology Language OWL 2, there is a potential for great diversity in the logical content of OWL ontologies. The fact that many naturally occurring entailments of such ontologies have multiple justifications indicates that ontologies often overdetermine their consequences, suggesting a diversity in supporting reasons. On closer inspection, however, we often...
متن کاملTranslating XML Models into OWL Ontologies for Interoperability of Simulation Systems
Today XML is a common format supporting interoperability and information exchange between systems in the modeling and simulation field. Although XML enables systems to agree on a common syntax and understand the exchanged information, systems can misinterpret them due to their di↵erent conceptualizations of the domain of interest. In this paper, we present a framework for automatic translation ...
