On Design of Ontology Management Systems

Article Preview

Abstract:

An ontology management system (OMS) is a software system which manages ontologies through their lifecycle. It simplifies ontologies building and applications by providing a mechanism for querying ontologies and an easy-to-use programming interface to ontologies and instances. OMSs are powerful tools to create ontologies and extend their applications and scope. This paper explains the basic design principles of an OMS and designs a general framework of OMSs. It devotes to promoting systematically research and development of OMSs.
