Research on ontologies is becoming widespread in the biomedical informatics community.
At the same time, it has become apparent that the challenges of properly constructing and …

This paper gives an overview of the development of the field of Knowledge Engineering over
the last 15 years. We discuss the paradigm shift from a transfer view to a modeling view and …

Ontological Engineering refers to the set of activities that concern the ontology development
process, the ontology life cycle, the methods and methodologies for building ontologies, and …

We review the use on ontologies for the integration of heterogeneous information sources.
Based on an in-depth evaluation of existing approaches to this problem we discuss how …

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 …

Methontology provides guidelines for specifying ontologies at the knowledge level, as a
specification of a conceptualization. ODE enables ontology construction, covering the entire …

The use of methodologies in software and knowledge engineering is very extensive due to
their important advantages. In the case of the development of ontologies, until now, several …

It is now widely recognised that constructing a domain model, or ontology, is an important
step in the development of knowledge based systems. What is lacking, however, is a clear …

This paper reports on a trade study we performed to support the development of a Cyber
ontology from an initial malware ontology. The goals of the Cyber ontology effort are first …

The large-scale and almost ubiquitous availability of information has become as much of a
curse as it is a blessing. The more information is available, the harder it is to locate any …
