The NeOn Ontology Engineering Toolkit
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ontologies are considered a key technology enabling semantic interoperability and integration of data and processes. We are now entering a phase of knowledge system development, in which ontologies are produced in larger numbers and exhibit greater complexity. Also we have witnessed an increasing need for technologies that enable the reuse of existing (Semantic) Web resources from within the ontology engineering environment itself. In the NeOn project we aim at advancing the state of the art in using ontologies for large-scale semantic applications. This is realized by providing an infrastructure for networked ontology management and engineering capable of suiting the community’s needs [1]. The heart of this infrastructure is the NeOn Toolkit for engineering contextualized networked ontologies and semantic applications. The shift from closed semantic applications, characterized by a monolithic corporate ontology, to open semantic applications, characterized by networks of ontologies, implies that a number of other aspects like dealing with context, collaboration or data and web integration become crucial. The NeOn Toolkit was built with the web-centric elements of semantic technologies in mind: much like Web 2.0 environments emphasize distributed content production, the NeOn Toolkit features methods and tools for managing knowledge that is distributed, heterogeneous, contextualized, and developed collaboratively.

NeOn Tool Support for Building Ontologies by Reuse
Reusing elements of external ontologies is generally considered a good practice as it reduces the cost of ontology building and improves quality and interoperability. Yet, while many ontologies are now available for reuse, ontology developers still find difficult to efficiently identify relevant ontologies, to locate items of interest within them, and to integrate these elements in their ontolo...
متن کاملLifecycle-Support in Architectures for Ontology-Based Information Systems
Ontology-based applications play an increasingly important role in the public and corporate Semantic Web. While today there exist a range of tools and technologies to support specific ontology engineering and management activities, architectural design guidelines for building ontology-based applications are missing. In this paper, we present an architecture for ontology-based applications—cover...

In this deliverable, we report on several evaluation experiments which aim to demonstrate the synergies arising from a combination of ontology design patterns and ontology learning techniques. Furthermore, we present a novel method for ontology refinement, i.e. the semi-automatic acquisition of complex domain-range restrictions, and its evaluation on the well-known SWRC ontology. A variant of t...
