[Semantic Web]Ontology Library Systems

读书笔记 Lee 发表于 2006/3/8 23:47:30 Ontology library systems are an important tool in grouping and re-organizing ontologies for further re-use, integration, maintenance, mapping and versioning. Basically it is a library system that offers various functions for managing, adapting and standardizing groups of ontologies. It should be easily accessible and offer efficient support for re-using existing relevant ontologies and standardizing them based on upper-level ontologies and ontology representation languages.   A real-world ontology library system must support the following: a. open storage, identification and versioning of ontologies; b. smooth access to existing ontologies and advanced support in adapting ontologies to certain domain and task-specific circumstances (instead of requiring such ontologies to be developed from scratch); c. fully employing the power of standardization and providing access to upper-layer ontologies and standard representation languages.   Current state-of-the art in ontology library systems. The systems that we included in our survey are: WebOnto, Ontolingua, DAML Ontology library system, SHOE, Ontology Server from Vrije Universiteit, Brussels, Belgium, IEEE Standard Upper Ontology, OntoServer, ONIONS and Sesame. Not all are real ontology library systems, but each provides at least someaspects of a library system.
