Identifying Change Patterns of Concept Attributes in Ontology Evolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ontology versions are periodically released to ensure their usefulness and reliability over time. This potentially impacts dependent artefacts such as mappings and annotations. To deal with this issue requires to finely characterize ontology entities’ changes between ontology versions. This article proposes to identify change patterns at attribute values when an ontology evolves, to track textual statements describing concepts. We empirically evaluate our approach by using biomedical ontologies, for which new ontology versions are frequently released. Our achieved results suggest the feasibility of the proposed techniques.

Investigating the Evolution of Spatial Structure Patterns of Migration in West-Azerbaijan Province
Migration and quality of redistribution of population across country is one of the main factors that planners take into account to control population and guide its movements to economic poles. Scientific recognition of migration phenomenon is important for managing and policy making in the country. These movements change migration pattern, in a way that along with increase in population and the...
متن کاملIdentifying relevant concept attributes to support mapping maintenance under ontology evolution
The success of distributed and semantic-enabled systems relies on the use of up-to-date ontologies and mappings between them. However, the size, quantity and dynamics of existing ontologies demand a huge maintenance effort pushing towards the development of automatic tools supporting this laborious task. This article proposes a novel method, investigating different types of similarity measures,...

Using^ Rodger's (2000) model of concept analysis the historical evolution of ways of knowing in nursing will be discussed. The ways of knowing in nursing will be explored through their antecedents of learning styles and knowledge, their attributes, and their consequences. The primary focus of the article is the four ways or patterns of knowing in nursing identified by Carper (1978) which have b...

This article presents a method for analyzing the e volution of concepts represented by concept lattices in a time stamped d atabase, showing how the concepts that evolve with time induce a change in t he concept lattice. The purpose of this work is to extend formal concept an alysis to handle temporal properties and represent temporally evolving attrib utes. 1 Introduction Formal concept analys...
متن کاملChange Management Patterns (CMP) for Ontology Evolution Process
Ontology evolution is an essential research area for the widespread use of ontologies in industrial and academic applications. In this paper, we present Change Management Patterns CMP defining three kinds of patterns: Change Patterns, Inconsistency Patterns and Alternative Patterns. CMP patterns are proposed to guide ontology evolution process by driving and controlling change application while...
