INFORMATION ORGANISATION IN DESIGN: AN APPLICATION OF FORMAL ONTOLOGIES
"... Design activities need to be satisfied by several context considerations. The design data, information and knowledge need to be understood and interpreted by multiple context applications. Therefore, the organisation of those information and knowledge must be managed in a manner that all participant ..."

approaches based on formal ontologies, thus enabling a better organisation of the information handled during the design process: the first one makes use of the PSL (Process Specification Language) as a key-enabler for process based communications and information exchanges. The other one proposes methods
Towards a formalization of disease-specific ontologies for neuroinformatics
- Neural Netw
, 2003
"... We present issues arising when trying to formalize disease maps, i.e., ontologies to represent the terminological relationships among concepts necessary to construct a knowledge-base of neurological disorders. These disease maps are being created in the context of a large-scale data mediation system ..."

Formalizing the OPAL eBusiness ontology design patterns with OWL
- in Proc. of the IESA 2007
, 2007
"... Abstract. Domain ontology building is one of the most critical activities required in Semantic Web applications. The task must be performed by domain experts, who do not (generally) have the background of a knowledge engineer. To ease this task, Ontology Management Systems (such as Kaon, Protégé, On ..."

, OntoEdit, Athos) are developing user friendly interfaces. However the problem is mainly of a cognitive nature. Difficulties comes from the fact that the existing ontology languages: (i) are hard to be used by unskilled people, (ii) have very basic constructs (e.g., class, property), (iii
Ymir: A Sharable Ontology For The Formal Representation Of Engineering-Design Knowledge
- Formal Design Methods for CAD, IFIP Transactions
, 1994
"... This paper discusses the use of a domain-indendent, sharable ontology for the formal representation of engineering design knowledge, called YMIR. The central concept in YMIR is that of a primitive generic system model which represents the basic dependencies between the behaviour and the form of a te ..."

Toward Medical Ontology using Natural Language Processing
"... In this paper, we introduce our project aiming to build a medical ontology, and also present a method to estimate term relations and term classification, which are the basic structure for the ontology. First, relations between medical terms are extracted from a medical electronic dictionary. Next, t ..."

Ontology and Information Systems
"... Abstract. The term 'formal ontology' was first used by the philosopher Edmund Husserl in his Logical investigations to signify the study of those formal structures and relations -above all relations of part and whole -which are exemplified in the subject-matters of the different material ..."

We follow Husserl in presenting the basic concepts of formal ontology as falling into three groups: the theory of part and whole, the theory of dependence, and the theory of boundary, continuity and contact. These basic concepts are presented in relation to the problem of providing an account
An Ontology-enabled Approach for Modelling Business Processes
"... Abstract. Coloured Petri Nets (CPNs) have formal semantics and can describe any type of workflow system, behavioral and syntax wise simul-taneously. They are widely studied and successfully applied in modelling of workflows and workflow systems. There is an inherent problem regard-ing business proce ..."

Secondly, we introduce four basic types of manipulation operations on process models used to develop and modify business workflow patterns. To the best of our knowledge, representing business
Using ontologies for knowledge management: An information systems perspective

, 1999
"... Knowledge management research focuses on concepts, methods, and tools supporting the management of human knowledge. The main objective of this paper is to survey basic concepts that have been used in Computer Science for the representation of knowledge and summarize some of their advantages and draw ..."

and drawbacks. A secondary objective is to relate these techniques to Information Science theory and practice. The survey classifies the concepts used for knowledge representation into four broad ontological categories. Static ontologies describe static aspects of the world, i.e., what things exist
The role of ontology in improving gazetteer interaction
- International Journal of Geographical Information Science
, 2008
"... Gazetteers are more than basic place name directories containing names and locations for named geographic places. Most of them contain additional information, including a categorization of gazetteer entries using a typing scheme. This paper focuses on the nature of these categorization schemes. We a ..."
