Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 7567))

Abstract

In the GOPSL ontology engineering methodology, integrity constraints are used to guide communities in constraining their domain knowledge. This paper presents our investigation on OWL integrity constraints and its usage in ontology engineering.

This work was partially funded by the Brussels Institute for Research and Innovation through the Open Semantic Cloud for Brussels Project.
