Design patterns have been enthusiastically embraced in the software engineering community as well as in the web community since they capture knowledge about how and when to apply a...
Ontologies and rules are usually loosely coupled in knowledge representation formalisms. In fact, ontologies use open-world reasoning while the leading semantics for rules use non...
Designing and refining ontologies becomes a tedious task, once the boundary to real-world-size knowledge bases has been crossed. Hence semi-automatic methods supporting those task...
This paper overviews and analyses the on-going research attempts to apply language technologies to automatic ontology acquisition. At first glance there are many successful approac...
Ontology matching is currently a key technology to achieve the semantic alignment of ontological entities used by knowledge-based applications, and therefore to enable their inter...
