This paper proposes a method of using ontology hierarchy in automatic topic identification. The fundamental idea behind this work is to exploit an ontology hierarchical structure i...
Abstract. In this paper, we elaborate on an approach to construction of semantic-linguistic feature vectors (FV) that are used in search. These FVs are built based on domain semant...
Ontology modularization has received growing interest from the research community lately, since it supports tasks such as ontology design/reuse and knowledge selection and integra...

This paper presents an approach to answering queries over an ontology modelled using a description logic. The ontology acts as a global schema, providing a declarative description...

This paper presents a specifically database-inspired approach (called DOGMA) for engineering formal ontologies, implemented as shared resources used to express agreed formal semant...
We introduce an Information Extraction (IE) system which uses the logical theory of an ontology as a generalisation of the typical information extraction patterns to extract biolog...
The overall problem addressed in this paper is to improve semantic interoperability in heterogeneous systems. Normally, the semantics of data is carried by ontology (concept model)...
In an audience driven approach to website design, the requirements of the different audiences are modeled as separated tiny conceptual schemas comparable to views. We present a ne...
