Use Cases and Suitability Metrics for Unit Ontologies
[chapter]

Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Units of measurement are an essential part of dataset descriptions as they are required for a valid interpretation of the data. ...
One obvious choice for representing units are ontologies, but as every application supports different use cases a multitude of ontologies has been created. ...

An ontological structure for semantic interoperability of GIS and environmental modeling
2008
International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation
The paper gives an ontology of measurements for describing the input and output of field-based geo-services and a core ontology of geo-services containing the domain concepts. ...
This article proposes a layer-based ontology with additional layers for describing geoservices, especially the measurement units used. ...
It also shows the unit-of-measure concept in the ontology of measurement theory that has a relation with the field-data concept in the core ontology of geo-service. ...

2006 IEEE Services Computing Workshops
The aim of this evaluation is to identify the weaknesses and strengths of existing ontologies in order to decide which parts of each should form the basis of a unified ontology. ...
An evaluation of existing research in the field of QoS and Service Level Agreement (SLA) ontologies is presented. Many of the authors of these works are involved in the initiative. ...
The authors would like to thank Zhou Chen, Kunal Verma, Kyriakos Kritikos, and all other people in the OWL-QoS mailing list who have contributed to the definition of the requirements and concepts presented ...

Ontological Reengineering for Reuse
[chapter]
1999
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
This paper presents the concept of Ontological Reengineering as the process of retrieving and transforming a conceptual model of an existing and implemented ontology into a new, more correct and more complete ...
The paper also discusses how the ontological reengineering process has been applied to the Standard-Units ontology [18], which is included in a Chemical-Elements [12] ontology. ...
Acknowledgements We would like to express our thanks to the following persons: Almudena Galán and Rosario García, for their knowledge of chemistry and the environment; Mariano Fernández, for providing ...

Comparison and evaluation of ontologies for units of measurement
2018
Semantic Web Journal
The created ontologies differ not only in the modeled subset of concepts and relations, but also in the type and number of units included. ...
As part of these semantic descriptions and to cover the field of measurement units and related concepts, over the last years several projects were initiated to create respective ontologies [2] [3] [4] ...

Advancing ecological research with ontologies
2008
Trends in Ecology & Evolution
Ontologies provide a formal mechanism for defining terms and their relationships, and can improve the location, interpretation and integration of data based on its inherent meaning. ...
Ontologies have assisted other disciplines (e.g. molecular biology) in unifying and enriching descriptions of data, and ecology can benefit from similar approaches. ...

1995
International Journal of Human-Computer Studies
We describe the role of ontologies in supporting knowledge sharing activities, and then present a set of criteria to guide the development of ontologies for these purposes. ...
Recent work in Artificial Intelligence is exploring the use of formal ontologies as a way of specifying content-specific agreements for the sharing and reuse of knowledge among software entities. ...
