We propose a set of metrics for measuring the semantic implications of changes during ontology evolution. Our metrics focus on the changes of classes and associated axioms or annot...
In this paper we present the basic requirements and initial design of a system which manages and facilitates changes to an OWL ontology in a multi-editor environment. This system u...

XACML does not natively support RBAC and even the specialized XACML profiles are not able to support many relevant constraints such as static and dynamic separation of duty. Exte...
Being able to extend an OWL ontology with some form of rules is a feature that many ontology developers consider as very important. Nevertheless, working with rules in practice can...
