We propose a methodology of semi-automatic obtaining of a lightweight ontology for software testing domain based on the glossary “Standard glossary of terms used in Software Testing” created by ISTQB. From the same glossary many ontologies might be developed depending on the strategy for extracting concepts, categorizing them, and determining hierarchical and some other relationships. Initially...

This paper describes the PROTÉGÉ-II architecture for the construction of knowledge-based systems from reusable components: problem-solving methods and knowledge bases. We argue that these components are easier to reuse when their terminologies are described as formal ontologies. We define declarative mapping relations that we use to connect pre-existing methods to new domains and knowledge base...

In this presentation we describe a methodology we have adopted for coding the semantic structure of a historical document and the resulting semantic model. To do this, we adapted currently available methodologies for ontology engineering to the context of semantic document coding. Using Protégé-2000 we then used this methodology to develop a formal ontological model and finally to encode a hist...

The new Web Ontology Language (OWL) and its Description Logic compatible sublanguage (OWL-DL) explicitly exclude defaults and exceptions, as do all logic based formalisms for ontologies. However, many biomedical applications appear to require default reasoning, at least if they are to be engineered in a maintainable way. Default reasoning has always been one of the great strengths of Frame syst...

Document annotation is a common technique for relating text and knowledge representation. Although the semantic web emphasizes the annotation of web pages, there are other types of documents that can benefit from ontology-based annotations. PDF documents combined with OWL ontologies form semantic documents that support professional printing, on-line viewing, and ontological models. PDFTab is an...

Domain ontologies are formal descriptions of the classes of concepts and the relationships among those concepts that describe an application area. The Protégé software-engineering methodology provides a clear division between domain ontologies and domain-independent problem-solvers that, when mapped to domain ontologies, can solve application tasks. The Protégé approach allows domain ontologies...

The paper presents a case study that compares two of the existing knowledge modeling platforms: PROTÉGÉ-II and KSM. These two software environments allow a developer to build a knowledge level model and to create the final operational version. Both environments have been used to develop real world models (e.g., for medical and traffic domains respectively). In the paper, we first describe a kno...

This paper describes the integration of an interactive visualization user interface with a knowledge management tool called Protégé. Protégé is a general-purpose tool that allows domain experts to build knowledge-based systems by creating and modifying reusable ontologies and problem-solving methods, and by instantiating ontologies to construct knowledge bases. The SHriMP (Simple Hierarchical M...
