Ontology change: classification and survey.
Abstract
Ontologies play a key role in the advent of the Semantic
Web. An important problem when dealing with ontologies is the modification
of an existing ontology in response to a certain need for change. This
problem is a complex and multifaceted one, because it can take several
different forms and includes several related subproblems, like
heterogeneity resolution or keeping track of ontology versions. As a
result, it is being addressed by several different, but closely related
and often overlapping research disciplines. Unfortunately, the boundaries
of each such discipline are not clear, as the same term is often used with
different meanings in the relevant literature, creating a certain amount
of confusion. The purpose of this paper is to identify the exact
relationships between these research areas and to determine the boundaries
of each field, by performing a broad review of the relevant literature.
