DOGMA-MESS: A Meaning Evolution Support System for Interorganizational Ontology Engineering
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we explore the process of interorganizational ontology engineering. Scalable ontology engineering is hard to do in interorganizational settings where there are many pre-existing organizational ontologies and rapidly changing collaborative requirements. A complex socio-technical process of ontology alignment and meaning negotiation is therefore required. In particular, we are interested in how to increase the efficiency and relevance of this process using context dependencies between ontological elements. We describe the DOGMAMESS methodology and system for scalable, community-grounded ontology engineering. We illustrate this methodology with examples taken from a case of interorganizational competency ontology evolution in the vocational training do-

Organizing Meaning Evolution Supporting Systems Using Semantic Decision Tables
DOGMA-MESS (Meaning Evolution Support System) is a system and methodology for supporting scalable, community-grounded ontology engineering. It uses a socio-technical process of meaning negotiation to tackle the scalability problems in ontology engineering. In order to improve the effectiveness of DOGMA-MESS, we adopt Semantic Decision Tables (SDT). An SDT contains semantically rich decision rul...
متن کاملUse Semantic Decision Tables to Improve Meaning Evolution Support Systems
Meaning Evolution Support Systems have been recently introduced as a real-time, scalable, community-based cooperative systems to support the ontology evolution. In this paper, we intend to address the problems of accuracy and effectiveness by using Semantic Decision Tables. A Semantic Decision Table separates general decision rules from the processes, bootstraps policies and template dependenci...
متن کاملDOGMA-MESS: A Tool for Fact-Oriented Collaborative Ontology Evolution
Ontologies being shared formal specifications of a domain, are an important lever for developing meaningful internet systems. However, the problem is not in what ontologies are, but how they become operationally relevant and sustainable over longer periods of time. Fact-oriented and layered approaches such as DOGMA have been successful in facilitating domain experts in representing and understa...
متن کاملTowards Community-Based Evolution of Knowledge-Intensive Systems
This article wants to address the need for a research effort and framework that studies and embraces the novel, difficult but crucial issues of adaptation of knowledge resources to their respective user communities, and vice versa, as a fundamental property within knowledge-intensive internet systems. Through a deep understanding of real-time, community-driven evolution of so-called ontologies,...
متن کاملA Method and Tool for Fact Type Reuse in the DOGMA Ontology Framework
In the DOGMA approach to ontology engineering, the construction of an ontology starts from a “Lexon Base”, a possibly very large and un-interpreted base of plausible elementary fact types called lexons. Lexons mined from various linguistic sources such as schemas, texts or domain experts are used to create ontological commitments by selecting or reusing a meaningful set of lexons and together w...
