A Framework for Ontology Evolution Management in SSOA-Based Systems

摘要

Abstract-the existing distributed ontology evolutionapproaches are not scaled to dynamic environments likeSemantic service architecture (SSOA). As the SSOA-basedsystem grows in size, the complexity of ontology changemanagement increases, especially if the services ontologies areheterogeneous. In this paper, a novel agent-based ontologyevolution framework is developed for services which consumeontologies in semantic SOA-based applications. A prototype isbuilt by using the JADE agent platform for evaluation.
