1 Although ontology has gained wide attention in the area of information systems, a criticism typical of the early days is still rehearsed here and there. Roughly, this criticism s...
Even though there is nothing new about the idea, ontologies are a hot topic. Built for many reasons and appliances, the use of ontologies in real-life applications remains limited...
In this paper we present a new approach for building RDF schemas by integrating existing ontologies and structured vocabularies (thesauri). We will present a simple mechanism base...
Resolving heterogeneity among information systems is a crucial necessity if we wish to gain value from the many distributed resources available to us. Problems of heterogeneity in ...
Ontologies are an emerging paradigm to support declarativity, interoperability, and intelligent services in many areas, such as Agent–based Computation, Distributed Information ...
We introduce TOQL, a query language for querying time information in ontologies. TOQL is a high level query language that handles ontologies almost like relational databases. Queri...

— In this paper I show how ontologies support the student modelling through the semantic definition of concepts that depict a student. The aim is to outline the framework for bui...
Ontologies play an important role in the Semantic Web. Currently, several Web ontology languages have been proposed and there has been a substantial effort towards the formalizat...
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...
At the heart of today’s information-explosion problems are issues involving semantics, mutual understanding, concept matching, and interoperability. Ontologies and the Semantic ...
