Title: Building an Integrated Framework
for
Ontology Evolution Management
Abstract: Ontology
engineering, evolution, and maintenance are collaborative processes.
The
crucial task is how to accommodate the new changes in the ontology
while
preserving its consistency. We provide here a framework for ontology
evolution.
As new concept(s) emerge, the proposed framework automates the process
of
how these new changes will be detected and then committed to the
ontology.
The change in focus can be a single concept, group of concepts, and/or
concepts
in a hierarchical structure. A log of all the implemented changes is
maintained
using Change Log Ontology for Evolution Management (CLONE) to eliminate
conflicts
and to support the Undo and redo operations.
