To avoid receiving incorrect arguments, a method specifies the expected type of each formal parameter. However, some parameter types are too general and have subtypes that the me...
Ontology population is prone to cause inconsistency because the populating process is imprecise or the populated data may conflict with the original data. By assuming that the int...
Ontology matching, aiming to obtain semantic correspondences between two ontologies, has played a key role in data exchange, data integration and metadata management. Among numero...
Problems resulting from the management of shared, distributed knowledge has led to ontologies being employed as a solution, in order to effectively integrate information across a...
