Modeling Expert Knowledge in the Mediation Domain: A Mediation Core Ontology
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we introduce the Mediation Core Ontology (MCO), and the steps taken in order to model the expert knowledge on the mediation domain. MCO is created from scratch by eliciting practical knowledge from mediation experts to identify the basic working concepts of the domain. MCO offers initial support towards knowledge acquisition and reasoning and, in later steps, will serve as a general basis for the development of different mediation domain and sub-domain ontologies to be used by the ONTOMEDIA mediation platform, currently also under development.

Modeling Expert Knowledge in the Mediation Domain: A Middle-out Approach to Design ODR Ontologies
In this paper we describe the steps taken to model expert knowledge within the mediation domain as the basis for the design of the Mediation Core Ontology (MCO), of which we also offer a first outline of its present stage of development. MCO is created from scratch by eliciting practical knowledge from mediation experts to identify the basic working concepts of the domain. MCO offers initial su...
متن کاملMediation of foundation ontology based knowledge sources
Ontologies are helpful in giving interoperable structures to sources of knowledge and information. This interoperability, however, is greatly hindered by the heterogeneity of independently developed ontologies which in turn increases the requirements for mediation systems to reconcile the differences. A core concepts ontology for a certain domain contained by a foundation ontology can be used t...

Mediator modules provide intermediary services in information systems, linking data resources and application programs. Programs that led to the concept of mediation were either constructed to support speciic applications, or extended services from databases. Mediators are being built now by careful domain knowledge acquisition and hand crafting the required code. In this paper we present the c...

متن کاملTowards a Core Ontology for Information Integration
In this paper, we argue that a core ontology is one of the key building blocks necessary to enable the scalable assimilation of information from diverse sources. A complete and extensible ontology that expresses the basic concepts that are common across a variety of domains and can provide the basis for specialization into domain-specific concepts and vocabularies, is essential for well-defined...
