A Formal Ontological Framework for Semantic Interoperability in the Fishery Domain
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper outlines a project (involving FAO, SIFAR, and CNR) aimed at building an ontology in the fishery domain. The ontology will support semantic interoperability among existing fishery information systems and will enhance information extraction and text marking, envisaging a fishery semantic web. The ontology is being built through the conceptual integration and merging of existing fishery terminologies, thesauri, reference tables, and topic trees. Integration and merging are shown to benefit from the methods and tools of formal ontology.

Ontologies and Information Systems: the Marriage of the Century?
Although is recognized that ontologies may help building better and more interoperable information systems, there is skepticism on the real impact they may have in the future. We believe that ontologies will succeed in the information system arena and no systems will ever be designed without an ontological approach. In this paper we demonstrate the effectiveness of the ontological approach by i...

متن کاملAn Ontological SW Architecture for the Development of Cooperative Web Portals
Ontological technologies comprise a rich framework of languages and components off the shelf, which devise a paradigm for the organization of SW architectures with high degree of interoperability, maintainability and adaptability. In particular, this fits the needs for the development of semantic web portals, where pages are organized as a generic graph, and navigation is driven by the inherent...
متن کاملA Semantic Framework for Adaptive web-based Systems
This paper proposes a semantic framework built on multidimensional ontological matrices for the design of adaptive systems. The core of the framework is composed by three matrices whose different planes contain the ontological representation of different types of knowledge. On these planes we represent user features, her actions, context, device, content domain, adaptation goals and methods. Th...
متن کاملKnowledge domain navigation in interdisciplinary digital landscapes
Knowledge domain navigation is vital to research activities, and this article addresses the epistemological and ontological dimensions of the knowledge domain navigation framework. The article addresses knowledge creation through the metadata record and how interdisciplinarity affects the metadata record. The discussion of the ontological dimension focuses on semantic navigation, interoperabili...
