Abstract. In this paper we apply a formal ontological framework in order to deconstruct two prominent approaches to navigation from cognitive robotics, the Spatial Semantic Hierarc...
Modularity is a key requirement for large ontologies in order to achieve re-use, maintainability, and evolution. Mechanisms for ‘normalisation’ to achieve analogous aims are s...
Ontology-driven search applications use ontological concepts either to index documents or to guide and understand the users. Since ontologies by nature are domain-dependent and app...
In a semantic environment data is described by ontologies and ontology mapping has become a crucial aspect in solving the heterogeneity problems of semantically described data. Th...
Debugging inconsistent OWL ontologies is a timeconsuming task. Debugging services included in existing ontology engineering tools are still far from providing adequate support to ...
