Linked Open Ontology Cloud KOKO-Managing a System of Cross-Domain Lightweight Ontologies

摘要

The Linked Data movement has focused on building cross-domain interoperability by creating and using (typically) owl: sameAs mappings between the datasets in the Linked Data Cloud (LOD). However, when linking data, ontologies would allow for deeper interoperability. Because different ontologies have been used when annotating different datasets, we argue that the LOD cloud needs to be complemented by developing a lightweight "Linked Open Ontology Cloud" (LOO). Aligning the ontologies requires more refined techniques than mapping data instances for the LOD.
