An increasing number of applications benefits from light-weight ontologies, or to put it
differently “a little semantics goes a long way”. However, our experience indicates that more …

The tremendous amounts of linked data available on the web are a valuable resource for a
variety of semantic applications. However, these applications often need to face the …

Although it is widely acknowledged that adding class disjointness to ontologies enables a
wide range of interesting applications, this type of axiom is rarely used on today's Semantic …

Dealing with heterogeneous ontologies by means of semantic mappings has become an
important area of research and a number of systems for discovering mappings between …

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 …

Finding the justifications of an entailment (that is, all the minimal set of axioms sufficient to
produce an entailment) has emerged as a key inference service for the Web Ontology …

Ontology mapping is important when working with more than one ontology. Typically
similarity considerations are the basis for this. In this paper an approach to integrate various …

Managing semantic heterogeneity is a complex task. One solution involves matching like
terms to each other. We view Match as an operator that takes two graph-like structures (eg …

One of the core challenges for current landscape of ontology based research is to develop
efficient ontology merging algorithms which can resolve the mismatches with no or minimum …

Ontologies are conceptual models of particular domains, and domains can be modeled
differently, representing different opinions, beliefs or perspectives. In other terms, ontologies …
