Título: How Can Ontology Design Patterns Help Ontology Refinement?
Autores: Vasconcellos, Wander dos Santos; Revoredo, Kate; Baião, Fernanda
Resumo: Over time, an Ontology may become obsolete, thus raising the need for it to be refined towards correctly reflecting the domain of discourse. Usually, when this refinement is performed manually or semiautomatically, it is ad hoc, time consuming and error-prone. Therefore, automatic mechanisms are demanding to improve Ontology refinement processes. On the other hand, Ontology Design Patterns are modeling solutions with recognized good quality that solve recurrent ontology modeling problems, thus improving the quality of the Ontology. In this paper, we propose to automatically refine ontologies by applying Theory Revision techniques using Ontology Design Patterns (ODPs) to reduce the search space of possible decision points to be considered, thus ensuring the good quality of an ontology.
