Hi.
I'm a novice in the practice of ontology engineering, and
recently I found some challenges in my projects. I think that
this forum could help me to answer some questions that have
raised recently.
1-There are some book (or other media) that deal with the
subject of ontology design patterns, in a compreensive way?
You can take a look to:
- the Ontology Design Pattern portal:
http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/Main_Page
- the chapter "Ontology Design Patterns" at the Handbook on
Ontologies (Second Edition):
http://hem.hj.se/~blev/HandbookChapter_ODPs.pdf
- the chapter about ontology design patterns "Pattern-Based
Ontology Design" at the Ontology Engineering in a Networked World
(book published by Springer)
(http://www.springer.com/computer/ai/book/978-3-642-24793-4)
2-What is the status of the modeling of roles (for instance:
teacher, student, engineer, as roles of Person) in the state of
the art in the ontology engineering?
There are different ways in which you can model roles, depending on
the details you need to represent.
At the ODP portal you can find a pattern with one of the
possibilities.
3-In some of my incursions in the field I have encountered
some so-called top ontologies, and foundations ontologies. But,
I'm not sure about the competence of this kinds of ontologies.
--Top ontologies and foundational ontologies are the same
type of ontology with different names?
In some sense top-level ontologies and foundational ontologies can
be considered to be more or less the same.
--There is some reference that discusses and/or compares
different top/foundational ontologies? I know tha some of this
ontologies are: DOLCE, SUMO, GFO, UFO, etc. I used the UFO in
some recent projects. There are others?
You can find a technical report comparing some upper ontologies at
"http://www.disi.unige.it/person/MascardiV/Download/DISI-TR-06-21.pdf"
--In my brief practice in the field, seems to me that using
some of this top/foundational ontologies, we commit with some
ontological notions that have implications in the design of
domain ontologies. For instance, in UFO, there is a clear design
pattern to model Roles. I am correct about this? The others
top/foundational ontologies embody the same implications in the
design of domain ontologies?
Best regards.
I hope this help you.
Best Regards,
Mari Carmen Suárez-Figueroa.
