Abstract. The survey of the current status in ontological engineering is presented: notion, peculiarities, applications, design and evaluation of ontologies. The possibilities of u...
For constructing semantically rich service descriptions in Grid services, emerging ontologies are being used. To generate ontologies, an issue named "ontology bottleneck"...
Pervasive computing is by its nature open and extensible, and must integrate the information from a diverse range of sources. This leads to a problem of information exchange, so s...
Ontologies are an important technology for the Semantic Web. In different areas ontologies have already been developed and many of these ontologies contain overlapping information...
Background: Improvements in technology have been accompanied by the generation of large amounts of complex data. This same technology must be harnessed effectively if the knowledg...
In this paper, we propose a multi-strategic matching and merging approach to find correspondences between ontologies based on the syntactic or semantic characteristics and constr...
An ontology is a formal representation of a domain modeling the entities in the domain and their relations. When a domain is represented by multiple ontologies, there is need for ...
In a semantic environment data is described by ontologies and ontology mapping has become a crucial aspect in solving the heterogeneity problems of semantically described data. Th...
: A large number of ontologies have been introduced by the biomedical community in recent years. From an application perspective, identifying related ontologies and linking them to...
