Distributed Engineering of Ontologies (DILIGENT)

چکیده
Ontology engineering processes in truly distributed settings like the Semantic Web or global Peer-to-Peer systems may not be adequately supported by conventional, centralized ontology engineering methodologies. In this chapter, we present our work towards the DILIGENT methodology, which is intended to support domain experts in a distributed setting to engineer and evolve ontologies. We show partial results on how the DILIGENT process model has been applied in two case studies, in particular (1) in a computer science department where we investigated a fine-grained methodological approach for argumentation, and (2) in a virtual organizational setting in the tourism domain with the support of a Peer-to-Peer system.

متن کاملOntology Engineering and Evolution in a Distributed World Using DILIGENT
Existing mature ontology engineering approaches are based on some basic assumptions that are often neglected in practice. Ontologies often need to be built in a decentralized way, ontologies must be given to a community in a way such that individuals have partial autonomy over them, ontologies have a life cycle that involves an iteration back and forth between construction/modification and use ...
متن کاملAn Argumentation Ontology for DIstributed, Loosely-controlled and evolvInG Engineering processes of oNTologies (DILIGENT)
A prerequisite to the success of the Semantic Web are shared ontologies which enable the seamless exchange of information between different parties. Engineering a shared ontology is a social process. Since its participants have slightly different views on the world, a harmonization effort requires discussing the resulting ontology. During the discussion, participants exchange arguments which ma...
متن کاملThe DILIGENT knowledge processes
Case Study Purpose: The ontology engineering methodology DILIGENT is presented, a methodology focussing on the evolution of ontologies instead of the initial design, thus recognizing that knowledge is a tangible and moving target. Approach: First we describe the methodology as a whole, then detailing one of the five main steps of DILIGENT. The second part describes case studies, either already ...

Knowledge management solutions relying on central repositories sometimes have not met expectations, since users often create knowledge ad-hoc using their individual vocabulary and using their own decentral IT infrastructure (e.g., their laptop). To improve knowledge management for such decentralized and individualized knowledge work, it is necessary to, first, provide a corresponding IT infrast...
