Ontology Design Pattern Property Specialisation Strategies

  • Conference paper
Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management (EKAW 2014)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 8876))

Abstract

Ontology Design Patterns (ODPs) show potential in enabling simpler, faster, and more correct Ontology Engineering by laymen and experts. For ODP adoption to take off, improved tool support for ODP use in Ontology Engineering is required. This paper studies and evaluates the effects of strategies for object property specialisation in ODPs, and suggests tool improvements based on those strategies. Results indicate the existence of three previously unstudied strategies for ODP specialisation, the uses of which affect reasoning performance and integration complexity of resulting ontologies.
