Ontological Context Visualization

Abstract. Ontologies contain information about concepts and their relations. Certain concepts may occur in different ontologies at the same time and these concepts can be used as glue to integrate information from related domains. In support of our efforts to represent information on interesting concepts, we have developed a visualization engine ”ContextVis”. Meanwhile, this tool can also be used for a visual knowledge mining and inspection of ontology integration. In this paper we present the Ontology Context Visualization with a case study on Alzheimer disease; a typical example in which contextual information on concepts allows to collect knowledge from different resources. Key words: Ontology Visualization, OWL, Description Logic, Ontology Integration
