The Web of Linked Data is characterized by linking structured data from different sources using equivalence statements, such as owl:sameAs, as well as other types of linked propert...
Abstract. Ontologies underpin the semantic web; they define the concepts and their relationships contained in a data source. An increasing number of ontologies are available on-lin...

Abstract-- The success of Web Services as a tool to decouple and distribute different processes is beyond any doubt. On the one hand, their distributed nature makes them perfect to...
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 ...
Ontologies and datasets for the Semantic Web are encoded in OWL formalisms that are not easily comprehended by people. To make ontologies accessible to human domain experts, sever...
Abstract. One of the most frequently used inference services of description logic reasoners classifies all named classes of OWL ontologies into a subsumption hierarchy. Due to emer...
Abstract. Ontologies undergo changes for reasons such as changes in knowledge, meeting varying application requirements. Thus, for different versions of a considered ontology, it i...
For the development of practical semantic applications, ontologies are commonly used with rule extensions. Prominent examples of semantic applications are Semantic Wikis, Semantic...
Most of the frequently used ontology mapping methods to date are based on linguistic information implied in ontologies. However, same concepts in different ontologies can represen...
Abstract. Many applications require the establishment of mappings between ontologies. Such mappings are established by domain experts or automated tools. Errors in mappings can int...
