We propose a set of metrics for measuring the semantic implications of changes during ontology evolution. Our metrics focus on the changes of classes and associated axioms or annot...
Abstract The growing demand for large and complex ontologies present new challenges related to their design, maintenance and evolution. In this paper, we propose an approach to man...
