The benefits of modular representations arc well known from many areas of computer science. In this paper, we concentrate on the benefits of modular ontologies with respect to loc...
We develop a formal framework for modular ontologies by analysing four notions of conservative extensions and their applications in refining, re-using, merging, and segmenting ont...

The goal of my ongoing work is to provide an architecture for developing and manipulating modular ontologies in such a way that each ontology module can plug into or unplug from a...
Modern semantic technology is one of the necessary supports for the infrastructure of next generation information systems. In particular, large international organizations, which u...
Modularization entails more efficient reasoning and better performance in the ontology manipulation process. Therefore, the development of modular ontologies has recently received ...
Abstract. Data privacy is an important application of ontology modularization. The aim is to publish one module while keeping the information of another module private. We show how...
