Re: protege-discussion Digest, Vol 64, Issue 14

Hi Matthew,

Thank you very much for the pointers. I will certainly study the papers.
A quick glance revealed that they are all 2011 publications. I am
surprised to find that with so much work going on in semantic web where
ontologies serve at the key building blocks, there is not much available
to address the migration issue. Have people done it mostly the hard way
in the past, or have they done it right the first time?

Does this mean that the plug-ins are available only for 4.0? Should I
migrate to 4.0? How will the move impact the current code I have? How
different is the Manchester API from Protege's OWL-API?

Thanks again for your help.

Girish

Hi Girish,

This is quite a big topic. There is quite a lot of research on ontology
versioning and evolution and a fair number of tools that support tasks
related to these topics. Here are some things related to Protege 4....

Some recent work, that is very nice, is work by Rafael Gon?alves at the
university of Manchester - he looks at analysing changes between
different versions of ontologies. Here's a pointer to various
publications on this:

http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~goncalvj/publications.html

Timothy Redmond and Natasha Noy have also done some recent work in this
area and have produced a Protege 4 plugin. Here's their paper

http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-784/evodyn6.pdf

and here's their plugin

http://smi-protege.stanford.edu/repos/protege/protege4/plugins/org.protege.editor.owl.diff/trunk/

There's also the OWLDiff plugin:

http://protegewiki.stanford.edu/wiki/OWLDiff

In terms of versioning with SVN, there were some recent posts on the
Protege mailing lists about this. A search through the archives should
reveal some interesting posts.

Cheers,

Matthew

Hi Girish,

Yes, this work represents some of the latest work in this area. I was also speaking with my Protege 4 hat on. If you're interested in using Protege 3, or Frames, then there is of course PROMPT by Natasha Noy. Take a look at this wiki page

http://protege.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Prompt

and here are some publications that are related to PROMPT.

Natalya Fridman Noy and Mark A. Musen
PROMPT: Algorithm and Tool for Automated Ontology Merging and Alignment

Natalya Fridman Noy and Mark A. Musen
PROMPTDIFF: A Fixed-Point Algorithm for Comparing Ontology Versions

Cheers,

Matthew
