On Browsing Domain Ontologies for Information Base Content
Pages 135 - 144
Abstract
This paper presents a conceptual querying approach with reference to a document collection where the target is the concepts appearing in documents, rather than the documents in the collection. An ontology formalism and a special notion of "instantiated ontology" are introduced. The latter is a structure reflecting the content in the document collection in that; it is a restriction of a general world knowledge ontology to the concepts instantiated in the collection. The notion of ontology-based similarity is briefly described and a language for navigation and retrieval of concepts in the ontology is presented.

Addressing semantic heterogeneity through multiple knowledge base assisted merging of domain-specific ontologies
With the development of the Semantic Web (SW), the creation of ontologies to formally conceptualize our understanding of various domains has widely increased in number. However, the conceptual and terminological differences (a.k.a semantic heterogeneity ...
Information content-based ranking of ontologies
Ontologies form the backbone of the Semantic Web. Owing to multidisciplinary applications, a large number of ontologies are cropping up in each domain. Choosing the best ontology according to the user's requirements becomes a challenging task. Most of ...
