One of the key factors that hinders integration of distributed, heterogeneousinformation systems is the lack of a formal basis for modeling the complex, structuredknowledge that is to be exchanged. To alleviate this situation, we present anapproach based on core ontologies. Core ontologies are...

Ontologies play an important role in knowledge representationfor sharing information and collaboratively developing knowledgebases. They are changed, adapted and reused in different applicationsand domains resulting in multiple versions of an ontology. The comparisonof different versions and the...

Existing tools for generating application programming interfaces(APIs) for ontologies lack sophisticated support for mapping thelogics-based concepts of the ontology to an appropriate object-orientedimplementation of the API. Such a mapping has to overcome the fundamentaldierences between the...
