Heterogeneously Structured Ontologies - Integration, Connection, and Refinement
Kutz, O., Lucke, D. and Mossakowski, T.
This paper systematically applies tools and techniques
from the area of algebraic specification theory
to corresponding ontology structuring and design
tasks.
We employ the heterogeneous structuring mechanisms
of the heterogeneous algebraic specification
language HetCasl for defining an abstract notion
of structured heterogeneous ontology. This approach
enables the designer to split up a heterogeneous ontology
into semantically meaningful parts and employ
dedicated reasoning tools to them.
In particular, we distinguish three fundamentally
different kinds of combining heterogeneous ontologies:
integration, connection, and refinement.
