论文摘要
在本体发展中，领域本体论之间存在差距，这些本体论主要使用网络本体语言，猫头鹰和以一阶逻辑写的基础本体论。为了弥合这一差距，我们提出了木瓜，该工具支持了异质的“家禽”本体的开发，这些本体将猫头鹰与fol注释扩展，并且能够对组合的公理集进行推理。由于注释存储在OWL注释中，因此Fowl本体学仍然与现有的OWL基础架构兼容。我们表明，对于猫头鹰领域本体论OBI，通过我们的方法与最高级别的BFO的更强集成使我们能够检测到几个不一致之处。此外，现有的猫头鹰本体学可以从注释中受益。我们用含有术语公理的家禽本体论来说明这一点，从而实现新的有意义的推论。最后，我们表明，即使对于大型领域（例如Chebi），带有注释的自动推理也可用于检测分类中以前未忽视的错误。
In ontology development, there is a gap between domain ontologies which mostly use the web ontology language, OWL, and foundational ontologies written in first-order logic, FOL. To bridge this gap, we present Gavel, a tool that supports the development of heterogeneous 'FOWL' ontologies that extend OWL with FOL annotations, and is able to reason over the combined set of axioms. Since FOL annotations are stored in OWL annotations, FOWL ontologies remain compatible with the existing OWL infrastructure. We show that for the OWL domain ontology OBI, the stronger integration with its FOL top-level ontology BFO via our approach enables us to detect several inconsistencies. Furthermore, existing OWL ontologies can benefit from FOL annotations. We illustrate this with FOWL ontologies containing mereotopological axioms that enable new meaningful inferences. Finally, we show that even for large domain ontologies such as ChEBI, automatic reasoning with FOL annotations can be used to detect previously unnoticed errors in the classification.
