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...
In the context of the Semantic Web or semantic peer to peer systems, many ontologies may exist and be developed independently. Ontology alignments help integrating, mediating or re...
Similarity measures play a key role in the Semantic Web perspective. Indeed, most of the ontology related operations such as ontology learning, ontology alignment, ontology ranking...
In this paper, we propose an approach for measuring inconsistency in inconsistent ontologies. We first define the degree of inconsistency of an inconsistent ontology using a four...
The problem of inconsistency handling in ontologies has recently been attracting a lot of attention. When inconsistency occurs in an ontology, there are mainly two ways to deal wit...
