Because it is difficult to engineer a complex ontology with time, we here consider a method that allows for factorizing the complexity of the engineering process, FONTE (Factoriz...
Abstract— An ontology is a formal language adequately representing the knowledge used for reasoning in a specific environment. When contradictions arise and make ontologies inad...
In this paper, we propose an approach for guiding ontology managers through the modification of an ontology with respect to users' needs. It is based on the analysis of end-u...
In the emerging world of Grid Computing, shared computational, data, other distributed resources are becoming available to enable scientific advancement through collaborative rese...

Abstract. In this paper we apply a formal ontological framework in order to deconstruct two prominent approaches to navigation from cognitive robotics, the Spatial Semantic Hierarc...
Ontology versioning deals with the management of ontology changes, including the evaluation of the consequences arising from these changes. We describe a distributed, “pluggable...

Abstract. The fast emergent areas of the Semantic Web and knowledge management push researchers to new efforts concerning ontology engineering. The development of ontologies must b...
Abstract. We show that the Semantic Web needs a formal semantics for the various kinds of links between ontologies and other documents. We provide a model theoretic semantics that ...
This paper describes the software infrastructure introduced within the AgentService framework in order to provide support for ontology design, development, and management. Ontolog...
