Context Dependency Management in Ontology Engineering: A Formal Approach

摘要: A viable ontology engineering methodology requires supporting domain experts in gradually building and managing increasingly complex versions of ontological elements their converging diverging interrelationships. Contexts are necessary to formalise reason about such a dynamic wealth knowledge. However, context dependencies introduce many complexities. In this article, we formal framework for dependency management processes, based on the DOGMA scalable engineering. Key notions set operators, which can be combined manage like articulation, application, specialisation, revision dependencies. turn, these used context-driven processes tailored specific requirements collaborative communities. This is illustrated by real-world case interorganisational competency
