Using Events from UFO-B in an Ontology Collaborative Construction Environment

In previous works, it was introduced an approach to support collaborative construction and evolution of domain ontologies based on UFO-A. However, there are areas of knowledge, like in the petroleum geology, where we need to represent some natural/geological phenomena which aren’t possible to be well represented by UFO-A constructs, by the fact that this concepts are treated as events that occur during time. Thus, this paper presents the results of the study to support events from UFO-B in an ontology collaborative construction environment, which initially was designed to maintain a collaboration record from a domain ontology based on UFO-A.
