Combining ontologies by discovering semantic associations at any level of abstraction, or decomposing large ontologies in modules w.r.t. logical properties either for re-usability of specifications, efficiency in ontology management, or efficiecy in reasoning, are goals that we need to pursue, especially when we deal with real-world heterogeneous and disparate data sources.
These tasks are especially important towards data-driven ontology engineering methods.
Specific Topics
- Distributed reasoning with modular ontologies
- Ontology modularization and data partitioning for scalable information management and reasoning
- Ontology alignment methods
- Ontology engineering and management
