Disentangling Domain Ontologies
In this paper, we introduce and illustrate the novel phenomenon of Conceptual Entanglement which emerges due to the representational manifoldness immanent while incrementally modelling domain ontologies step-by-step across the following five levels: perception, labelling, semantic alignment, hierarchical modelling and intensional definition. In turn, we propose Conceptual Disentanglement, a multi-level conceptual modelling strategy which enforces and explicates, via guiding principles, semantic bijections with respect to each level of conceptual entanglement (across all the above five levels) paving the way for engineering conceptually disentangled domain ontologies. We also briefly argue why state-of-the-art ontology development methodologies and approaches are insufficient with respect to our characterization.

When one Logic is Not Enough: Integrating First-order Annotations in OWL Ontologies
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 to…

The landscape of ontologies in materials science and engineering: A survey and evaluation
Ontologies are widely used in materials science to describe experiments, processes, material properties, and experimental and computational workflows. Numerous online platforms are available for accessing and sharing ont…
The State of the Art in Developing Fuzzy Ontologies: A Survey
Conceptual formalism supported by typical ontologies may not be sufficient to represent uncertainty information which is caused due to the lack of clear cut boundaries between concepts of a domain. Fuzzy ontologies are p…
ArticlesSurveyTowards Building Knowledge by Merging Multiple Ontologies with CoMerger: A Partitioning-based Approach
Ontologies are the prime way of organizing data in the Semantic Web. Often, it is necessary to combine several, independently developed ontologies to obtain a knowledge graph fully representing a domain of interest. The …
