Reusing ontologies for new purposes, or adapting them to new use-cases, is frequently
difficult. In our experiences, we have found this to be the case for several reasons:(i) differing …

Many real-world ontologies contain thousands of terms and are developed by multiple
participants. The use of monolithic ontologies can cause problems that affect various stages …

Ontology engineering is traditionally a complex and time-consuming process, requiring an
intimate knowledge of description logic and predicting non-local effects of different …

A purpose of a foundational ontology is to solve interoperability issues among domain
ontologies and they are used for ontology-driven conceptual data modelling. Multiple …

Problems resulting from the management of shared, distributed knowledge has led to
ontologies being employed as a solution, in order to effectively integrate information across …

The 1990s and the first years of this new millennium have witnessed the growing interest of
many practitioners in methodologies that support the creation of single or isolated …

Building proper reference ontologies is a hard task. There are a number of methods and
tools that traditionally have been used to support this task. These include foundational …

In recent years ontologies-shared conceptualizations of some domain-are increasingly seen
as the key to further automation of information processing. Although many approaches for …

In this paper we review and compare the main methodologies, tools and languages for
building ontologies that have been reported in the literature, as well as the main …

The thesis of this paper is to present and discuss the scalability and reusability capabilities
of DOGMA, an ontology modeling approach. Ontologies are repositories of domain …
