Abstract: (37WL)
Topic: Ontohub: an OOR-compliant Repository for Distributed Ontologies (37WM)
We demonstrate Ontohub, an ontology repository engine with a web frontend. Ontohub specializes on managing distributed ontologies in the sense of ISO Working Draft 17347 (Ontology Integration and Interoperability – Distributed Ontology Language). Distributed means: logically heterogeneous, modular, interlinked, and distributed over the Web. (37WO)
In its current state, Ontohub is the fully functional result of two weeks of agile web development – supporting a small but growing set of features. Users can upload, browse and annotate ontologies in OWL and Common Logic. We have developed a backend service that analyzes the structure of ontologies in various logics and returns their structural outline (axioms, entities, soon imports as well) as a lightweight, logic-independent XML description, which the web frontend makes browsable. The next aspects of distributedness that we will realize are cross-logic search for entities, cross-logic links between ontologies, as well as linked data compliance for reusing ontologies over the Web. (3837)
Ontohub does not aim at reinventing mature ontology repository engines such as BioPortal. It does aim at supporting a level of distributedness that existing systems do not support, due to their strong focus on single ontology languages and logics. Aiming at practical support with distributed ontologies and at quickly gaining experience with them in realistic application settings, we had to build a self-contained repository engine. For realizing its general, "non-distributed" functionality, such as the user interface and user management, we followed a subset of the requirements that had previously been established for the OOR.
