An Information Model for Ontology Searching and Reuse
نویسنده
چکیده
A grand number of ontologies, covering almost all domains are freely available in the internet, but many potential users prefer to design his ontology from scratch. The main reasons are related to the difficulties in searching and reusing ontologies. In fact, ontologies combine two major kinds of knowledge: domain and task knowledge (related to the tacks of it possible usage), but tack knowledge is not explicitly presented, and its absence makes it difficult to reuse ontologies. In this paper the information model for supporting ontology search and reuse, bridging the gap between domain and tack knowledge is presented and discussed.

This paper describes the application of OMV-R, an extension of the OMV metadata model for describing ontologies. The motivation is to help users searching for ontologies and ontology research related resources for reuse. In our extension we included information about ontology evaluation and evolution and we also propose more elaborated ways for describing ontology metrics. The extended model wa...
متن کاملSearching and ranking ontologies on the Semantic Web
The number of ontologies available online is increasing constantly. Tools that are capable of searching, retrieving, and ranking ontologies are becoming crucial to facilitate ontology search and reuse. In this document, we describe OntoSearch, which is a tool for capturing and searching ontologies on the Semantic web. We also briefly describe AKTiveRank which is used to rank OWL ontologies base...

We have recently proposed an innovative method of ontological engineering [1]: easing OWL ontology development by first creating a model in a less constrained language called PURO, allowing the engineer to focus on defining what is to be described by the ontology in an example real-world situation. The model is then automatically transformed to OWL, while allowing the user to choose the OWL enc...

Today, the need to deal with ambiguous information in semantic web languages is increasing. Ontology is an important part of the W3C standards for the semantic web, used to define a conceptual standard vocabulary for the exchange of data between systems, the provision of reusable databases, and the facilitation of collaboration across multiple systems. However, classical ontology is not enough ...
