Ontology Learning for the Semantic Web
- IEEE Intelligent Systems
, 2001
"... The Semantic Web relies heavily on the formal ontologies that structure underlying data for the purpose of comprehensive and transportable machine understanding. Therefore, the success of the Semantic Web depends strongly on the proliferation of ontologies, which requires fast and easy engineering o ..."

Data Modelling Versus Ontology Engineering
- SIGMOD Record
, 2002
"... Ontologies in current computer science parlance are computer based resources that represent agreed domain semantics. Unlike data models, the fundamental sset of ontologies is their relative independence of particular applications, i.e. an ontology consists of relatively generic knowledge that can be ..."

be reused by different kinds of applications/tasks. The first part of this paper concerns some aspects that help to understand the differences and similarities between ontologies and data models. In the second part we present an ontology engineering framework that supports and favours the genericity
Ontology Engineering Methodologies
- In Semantic Web Technologies: Trends and Research in Ontology-based Systems
, 2006
"... Summary. In this chapter we present a methodology for introducing and maintaining ontology based knowledge management applications into enterprises with a focus on Knowledge Processes and Knowledge Meta Processes. While the former process circles around the usage of ontologies, the latter process gu ..."

guides their initial set up. We illustrate our methodology by an example from a case study on skills management. The methodology serves as a scaffold for Part B “Ontology Engineering” of the handbook. It shows where more specific concerns of ontology engineering find their place and how they are related
The Ontological Engineering Initiative (KA)²
, 1998
"... The Knowledge Annotation Initiative of the Knowledge Acquisition Community, (KA)² is an initiative to develop an ontology that models the knowledge acquisition community (its researchers, topics, products, etc.). This ontology will form the basis to annotate WWW documents of the KA community in ..."

in order to enable intelligent access to these documents. (KA)² is an open joint-initiative where the participants are actively involved in (i) a distributive ontological engineering process to model the knowledge acquisition community (a domain ontology), and (ii) annotating web pages relevant
Questionnaires for Ontology Engineering
"... Abstract. Questionnaires provide a useful instrument for capturing knowl-edge as part of ontology engineering. Often knowledge is derived from a single domain expert who may be personally involved in the ontology pro-ject. However, in domains of common phenomena such as geography knowledge can be dr ..."

Requirements for Geospatial Ontology Engineering
"... Ontologies have been acknowledged to be the core methodology for capturing and sharing semantics of geospatial information (GI). Ontologies, specifically domain-specific ontologies, are at the heart of most semantic approaches to interoperability. In this paper we want to make a strong case for the ..."

Understanding Ontological Engineering
"... Ontological engineering has garnered increasing attention over the last few years, as researchers have recognized ontologies are not just for knowledge-based systems—all software needs models of the world, and hence can make use of ontologies at design time [1]. A recent survey of the field [4] sugg ..."

MDA-BASED ONTOLOGICAL ENGINEERING
"... The chapter presents a concept of approaching two ongoing technologies, ontological engineering and OMG’s Model Driven Architecture (MDA), which are developing in parallel, but by different communities. Our main intention is to show recent efforts that pursuing to provide software engineers to use a ..."

Integrating Language and Ontology Engineering
"... Abstract. Creating new modeling environments has become a relatively low-cost investment thanks to meta modeling environments and language workbenches that can automatically synthesize environments from lan-guage specifications. However, the currently existing tools are focused on language syntax an ..."

It appears that reasoning opportunities as they arise in ontology research (e.g., based on description logics) are currently not exploited in the field of language en-gineering. In this vision paper, we
