Mind the Gap: Ontology Authoring for Humanists
@inproceedings{Roche2019MindTG, title={Mind the Gap: Ontology Authoring for Humanists}, author={Christophe Roche and Maria Papadopoulou}, booktitle={JOWO}, year={2019} }
Ontologies are software artefacts used for representing knowledge. The use of OWL formalisms to capture knowledge in the field of Digital Classics and Classical Archaeology is mandatory, if linking, sharing, and reusing data from multiple heterogeneous sources is to be accomplished. For the time being, the ontology authoring is out of bounds for humanists. The reason is that OWL requires having a solid background in Description Logics and more generally in Logic for Computer Science. This paper…

Populous: a tool for building OWL ontologies from templates
- Computer ScienceBMC Bioinformatics
- 2012
Populous's contribution is in the knowledge gathering stage of ontology development; it separates knowledge gathering from the conceptualisation and axiomatisation, as well as separating the user from the standard ontology authoring environments.
Expert2OWL: A Methodology for Pattern-Based Ontology Development
- Computer ScienceGMDS
- 2017
A new method and tool is developed that provides efficient features to support the construction of OWL ontologies using GFO (General Formal Ontology) as a top-level ontology and is applied in the field of Chinese Herbal Medicine and used to automatically generate an accurate Chinese Herbology ontology.
Ontology development by domain experts (without using the "O" word)

This paper presents thoughts on how to bridge the gap between ontology and domain experts, and how to create effective and usable ontologies without ever using the “O” (“ontology”) word.
Ontology Design with Formal Concept Analysis

This paper presents a method that is based on formal concept analysis, which is a theory of data analysis which identifies conceptual structures among data sets which leads to an ontology that is suitable for knowledge exchange.

Mapping Master: A Flexible Approach for Mapping Spreadsheets to OWL
- Computer ScienceSEMWEB
- 2010
The developed language, called M2, overcomes shortcomings with existing mapping techniques, including their restriction to well-formed spreadsheets reminiscent of a single relational database table and verbose syntax for expressing mapping rules when transforming spreadsheet contents into OWL.
The Functions of Definitions in Ontologies
- Philosophy, Computer ScienceFOIS
- 2016
This goal is to show how these functions of definitions should motivate the systematic inclusion of definitions in ontologies and the adaptation of definition content and form to the specific context of use of ontologies.
