Structure-Based Partitioning of Large Concept Hierarchies
[chapter]
2004
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The increasing awareness of the benefits of ontologies for information processing has lead to the creation of a number of large ontologies about real world domains. The size of these ontologies and their monolithic character cause serious problems in handling them. In other areas, e.g. software engineering, these problems are tackled by partitioning monolithic entities into sets of meaningful and mostly self-contained modules. In this paper, we suggest a similar approach for ontologies. We
