A Temporal Aggregates Ontology in OWL for the Semantic Web

摘要

In this paper we describe our approach for representing temporal aggregates in OWL, as an extension to the initial version of the OWL-Time, a temporal ontology for describing the temporal content of Web pages and the temporal properties of Web services. We represent the temporal aggregates ontology in both first-older logic axioms and OWL encodings. We also present several examples in detail to show how our ontology can be used to represent complex multiple-layered and conditional temporal aggregates for the Semantic Web.
