OntoMaven - Maven-Based Ontology Development and Management of Distributed Ontology Repositories

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Synergies Between Knowledge Engineering and Software Engineering

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 626))

Abstract

In collaborative agile ontology development projects support for modular reuse of ontologies from large existing remote repositories, ontology project life cycle management, and transitive dependency management are important needs. The Apache Maven approach has proven its success in distributed collaborative Software Engineering by its widespread adoption. The contribution of this paper is a new design artifact called OntoMaven. OntoMaven adopts the Maven-based development methodology and adapts its concepts to knowledge engineering for Maven-based ontology development and management of ontology artifacts in distributed ontology repositories.
