NeOn Tool Support for Building Ontologies By Reuse - ICBO 09
Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes717 views
The NeOn Toolkit is an ontology development environment that supports ontology reuse through various tools and features. It allows users to find, understand, modularize, and visualize ontologies for reuse. It also helps diagnose and repair inconsistencies that may arise from integrating multiple ontologies. The toolkit is extensible and supports the full ontology development lifecycle.

- 9. Based on a summary of the ontology
- 10. Allow for a midle out approach to ontology explorationReuse Through Ontology ModularizationSlide 9Inspired from software engineering, Ontology modularization refers to the design of ontologies as sets of components that can be developed and managed independently.

- 12. Pattern-Based DesignPattern-based ontology design is the activity of searching, selecting, and composing different patternsBased on a catalogue of design patterns:Slide 11http://www.ontologydesignpatterns.orgFrom Aldo Gangemi

- 14. Slide 13Repair and Diagnosis in Ontology NetworksInconsistencies may occur naturally in networked and dynamic ontologies built by reuse
- 15. When integrated ontologies are inconsistent, how do we debug the cause of the inconsistency and repair it?From Peter Haase
- 16. Slide 14ConclusionNeOn offers a variety of tools for ontology reuseBut this is only one aspect of the the NeOn project. Many elements (and corresponding tools) not covered:Methodology for building ontologies and ontology based applicationOntology matching and alignmentCollaboration and editorial workflow for ontologies developmentOntology localizationReuse of non-ontological resourcesConcrete applications in 2 domainsAnd it is extensible!Anybody can develop a plugin and extend existing pluginsMore at http://neon-project.organd http://neon-toolkit.org
