Developing a computational framework based on database views can help link local ontologies into a global semantic web. This approach addresses incompatibilities and promotes reusability of reference ontologies for a more integrated knowledge network.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Information Science
  • Knowledge Representation

Background:

  • The semantic web aims to connect local ontologies into a global knowledge network.
  • Current challenges include incompatibilities and lack of standards in local application ontologies.
  • Reference ontologies offer a potential foundation for the semantic web due to their principled design and reusability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a computational framework for deriving application ontologies from reference ontologies.
  • To address the challenges of linking disparate local ontologies for a unified semantic web.
  • To explore the feasibility of creating a foundational layer for the semantic web using reference ontologies.

Main Methods:

  • Generalizing the database concept of 'views' to create a computational framework.

  • Identifying and describing key research issues for implementing such a framework.
  • Leveraging advances in related fields to support the framework's development.

    • Main Results:

    • A generalized computational framework for deriving application ontologies from reference ontologies is described.
    • Key research challenges for the framework's implementation are outlined.
    • The feasibility of the framework is supported by converging advances in several scientific fields.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed framework offers a viable method for integrating local ontologies into a global semantic web.
    • Reference ontologies, when coupled with this framework, can serve as a robust foundation for the semantic web.
    • Further research and development are needed to fully realize the potential of this approach for semantic web integration.
