Paper Abstract:
|
Ontologies in a web setting, particularly those used in a group context (such as a virtual community), need to be flexible and open to changes that reflect the evolution of knowledge. OWL the ontology language of the semantic web provides very little for facilitating the description of evolutionary changes in an ontology. We propose a dynamic web ontology language (dOWL), an extension to OWL, which consists of a set of elements that can be used to model these evolutionary changes in an ontology. |
