Ontology Evolution
Evolva is an Ontology Evolution tool that handles information discovery from external data sources (e.g. text documents), data validation, ontology changes, evolution validation and evolution management. One of the advantages of Evolva is that it relies on various background knowledge sources (e.g. online ontologies and lexical databases) for knowledge integration.
