Automatic Ontology Extension: Resolving Inconsistencies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ontologies are widely used in text technology and artificial intelligence. The need to develop large ontologies for real-life applications provokes researchers to automate ontology extension procedures. Automatic updates without the control of a human expert can generate potential conflicts between original and new knowledge. As a consequence the resulting ontology can yield inconsistencies. We propose a procedure that models the process of adapting an ontology to new information by repairing several important types of inconsistencies.

Screening for Inconsistencies and Changes in Semantic Web Ontologies: Experiments with Protégé
In this paper, we discuss and characterize some common types of deficiencies in Semantic web ontologies. We are especially interested in various types of inconsistencies that may occur as a result of ontology merger. The current state-of-the-art in ontology evaluation is briefly reviewed, and some pitfalls of ontology merging are outlined. Our experiences with the state-of-the-art ontology deve...
متن کاملOn the Process of Building a Process Systems Engineering Ontology Using a Semi-Automatic Construction Approach
This work presents a novel systematic approach for the construction of domain ontologies. The suggested approach uses a semi-automatic construction methodology. For this study, parent-child concept pairs are taken from a previous work. Novel contributions include building and completing branches, introducing new relations, and resolving inconsistencies and contradictions. For the process system...
متن کاملResolving Inconsistencies in Evolving Ontologies
Changing a consistent ontology may turn the ontology into an inconsistent state. It is the task of an approach supporting ontology evolution to ensure an ontology evolves from one consistent state into another consistent state. In this paper, we focus on checking consistency of OWL DL ontologies. While existing reasoners allow detecting inconsistencies, determining why the ontology is inconsist...
متن کاملAspects of Inconsistency Resolution in Modular Ontologies
Modularization entails more efficient reasoning and better performance in the ontology manipulation process. Therefore, the development of modular ontologies has recently received much attention. One of the most important issues in modular ontologies is dealing with inconsistencies. An inconsistent module may affect the other modules and cause a modular ontology to become inconsistent. Furtherm...
متن کاملAspects of Automatic Ontology Extension: Adapting and Regeneralizing Dynamic Updates
Ontologies are widely used in text technology and artificial intelligence. The need to develop large ontologies for real-life applications provokes researchers to automatize ontology extension procedures. Automatic updates without the control of a human expert can generate potential conflicts between original and new knowledge. As a consequence the resulting ontology can contain inconsistencies...
