A Matchmaking-based Ontology Evolution Methodology

In this paper, we present the H-Change methodology we have specifically conceived for evolving independent ontologies in open networked systems. Furthermore, we describe the change detection techniques based on semantic matchmaking for determining the most appropriate location where to frame new incoming knowledge within an existing ontology. Change assimilation techniques for evolving ontology metadata to incorporate the new incoming knowledge at different integration levels are also outlined.
