Ontological Engineering
This event took place on Monday 19 January 2004 at 13:00
Dr Aldo Gangemi
The development of precise, easily sharable domain ontologies and the analysis of existing ones are known time-consuming activities in ontological engineering. The talk will introduce some principles to design "core" ontologies that catch the basic commitments in a domain of interest. These principles can be combined into "ontology design patterns" in order to build an ontology from scratch, and to analyse or to integrate existing ones. A design pattern is illustrated that builds upon DOLCE foundational ontology and some extensions that help representing contexts and situations. Applications in several domains (biomedical, legal, services, fishery, etc.) are sketched.
