Integrating Graphical Support with Reasoning in a Methodology for Ontology Evolution

چکیده
Ontology development and maintenance are complex tasks, so automatic tools are essential for a successful integration between the modeller’s intention and the formal semantics in an ontology. In this paper we present a methodology for ontology evolution specifically designed for being used in ontology design tools. It exploits the ontology graphical representation, which is closer to the modeller’s intention, and selected user queries, that reflect the formal semantics of the ontology, both generated within the context of a given user experience in a tool. In addition, a set of modular extension rules is supplied to capture ontology elements by abstracting the user from the whole model without losing consistency. The main benefit of this approach is to offer a trade-off between the inherent rigidity to the logic systems and the intuitive characteristics of the ontological modelling.

Context-aware Modeling for Spatio-temporal Data Transmitted from a Wireless Body Sensor Network
Context-aware systems must be interoperable and work across different platforms at any time and in any place. Context data collected from wireless body area networks (WBAN) may be heterogeneous and imperfect, which makes their design and implementation difficult. In this research, we introduce a model which takes the dynamic nature of a context-aware system into consideration. This model is con...

Evolving ontologies by domain experts is difficult and typically cannot be performed without the assistance of an ontology engineer. This process takes a long time and often recurrent modeling errors have to be resolved. This doctoral thesis proposes a technique for creating controlled ontology evolution scenarios that ensure consistency of possible ontology evolutions and give guarantees to th...

Imagine you have traveled to an unfamiliar city. Before you start your daily tour around the city, you need to know a good route. In Network Theory (NT), this is the traveling salesman problem (TSP). A dynamic programming algorithm is often used for solving this problem. However, when the road network of the city is very complicated and dense, which is usually the case, it will take too long fo...
