Abstract. The definition of a domain ontology is a complex activity that requires two kinds of expertise: a deep knowledge of the domain to be modeled and a good level of familiari...
One criterion for the well-formedness of ontologies is that their hierarchical structure forms a lattice. Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) has been used as a technique for assessing ...
Modularization entails more efficient reasoning and better performance in the ontology manipulation process. Therefore, the development of modular ontologies has recently received ...
