OWL Change Management Patterns
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ontology evolution is a complex problem. In our work, we focus on issues related to change management, particularly consistency maintenance and we present in this paper, an overview of Change Management Patterns (CMP) that we have defined to model the three dimensions change, inconsistency and resolution alternative. Modelling these patterns and the links between them, helps to propose an automated process guiding and controlling change application while maintaining consistency of the evolved ontology. Change management depends closely on the ontology representation model, we focus on OWL language and we consider change impact on logical consistency as specified in OWL DL layer.

A Loose Coupling Approach for Combining OWL Ontologies and Business Rules
In this demonstration we will show two prototypes based on the BRMS (Business Rule Management System) WODM, (1) The OWL plug-in and (2) the change-management plug-in. The OWL plugin enables authoring and executing business rules over OWL ontologies. It consists of importing OWL ontologies into WODM and using the all the functionalities offered by this BRMS to author and execute rules. The chang...
متن کاملConservation of Scops Owl Otus scops in the Alps: relationships with grassland management, predation risk and wider biodiversity
The Scops Owl Otus scops is the most endangered and least studied owl in Europe, with widespread declines reported throughout Europe. The species is qualitatively associated with two threats: changes in agricultural practices and predation by Tawny Owls Strix aluco. We investigated these two threats to a population in the Alps, where land abandonment is causing widespread woodland expansion wit...
متن کاملMultiscale Habitat Selection by Burrowing Owls in Black- Tailed Prairie Dog Colonies
Some populations of western burrowing owls (Athene cunicularia hypugaea) have declined in recent decades. To design and implement effective recovery efforts, we need a better understanding of how distribution and demographic traits are influenced by habitat quality. To this end, we measured spatial patterns of burrowing owl breeding habitat selection within black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys lud...
متن کاملThe organization of orientation-selective, luminance-change and binocular- preference domains in the second (V2) and third (V3) visual areas of New World owl monkeys as revealed by intrinsic signal optical imaging.
Optical imaging was used to map patterns of visually evoked activation in the second (V2) and third (V3) visual areas of owl monkeys. Modular patterns of activation were produced in response to stimulation with oriented gratings, binocular versus monocular stimulation, and stimuli containing wide-field luminance changes. In V2, luminance-change domains tended to lie between domains selective fo...
متن کاملRelational Patterns in OWL and Their Application to OBO
Directed acyclic graphs are commonly used to represent ontologies in the biomedical domain. They provide an intuitive means to formalize relations that hold between ontological categories. However, their semantics is usually not explicit. We provide a semantics for a part of the OBO Flatfile Format by extending OWL with a method to express relational patterns. These patterns are OWL axioms with...
