PROMPT: Algorithm and Tool for Automated Ontology Merging and Alignment

by Natalya Fridman Noy, Mark A. Musen , 2000
"... Researchers in the ontology-design field have developed the content for ontologies in many domain areas. Recently, ontologies have become increasingly common on the WorldWide Web where they provide semantics for annotations in Web pages. This distributed nature of ontology development has led t ..."

The PROMPT Suite: Interactive Tools for Ontology Merging and Mapping

by Natalya F. Noy, Mark A. Musen - International Journal of Human-Computer Studies , 2003
"... Researchers in the ontology-design field have developed the content for ontologies in many domain areas. This distributed nature of ontology development has led to a large number of ontologies covering overlapping domains. In order for these ontologies to be reused, they first need to be merged o ..."

Ontologies: Principles, methods and applications

by Mike Uschold, Michael Gruninger - KNOWLEDGE ENGINEERING REVIEW , 1996
"... This paper is intended to serve as a comprehensive introduction to the emerging field concerned with the design and use of ontologies. We observe that disparate backgrounds, languages, tools, and techniques are a major barrier to effective communication among people, organisations, and/or software s ..."

A Metrics Suite for Object Oriented Design

by Shyam R. Chidamber , Chris F. Kemerer , 1994
"... Given the central role that software development plays in the delivery and application of information technology, managers are increasingly focusing on process improvement in the software development area. This demand has spurred the provision of a number of new and/or improved approaches to softwa ..."

Ontologies Models Cohesiveness: A First Assessment of Integration

by Mercedes Vitturini, Pablo R. Fillottrani
"... Abstract—Multiple ontologies over shared domain has been produced in the geographic ontology-design field for GIS environments. In geneal, each GIS solution has its own data model or application ontology. Ontol-ogy model mapping could provide a common language from which several systems could exchan ..."

An Algorithm for Merging and Aligning Ontologies: : Automation and Tool Support

by Natalya Fridman Noy, Mark A. Musen - Proc. of the Workshop on Ontology Management at the Sixteenth National Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-99 , 1999
"... As researchers in the ontology-design field develop the content of a growing number of ontologies, the need for sharing and reusing this body of knowledge becomes increasingly critical. Aligning and merging existing ontologies, which is usually handled manually, often constitutes a large and tedious ..."

Designing Core Ontologies

by Ansgar Scherp , Carsten Saathoff , Thomas Franz , Steffen Staab , 2009
"... One of the key factors that hinders integration of distributed, heterogeneous information systems is the lack of a formal basis for modeling the complex, structured knowledge that is to be exchanged. To alleviate this situation, we present an approach based on core ontologies. Core ontologies are ..."

are characterized by a high degree of axiomatization and formal precision. This is achieved by basing on a foundational ontology. In addition, core ontologies should follow a pattern-oriented design approach. By this, they are modular and extensible. Core ontologies allow for reusing the structured knowledge
