@inproceedings{suntisrivaraporn2008module, abstract = {The description logic EL+ has recently proved practically useful in the life science domain with presence of several large-scale biomedical ontologies such as SNOMED CT. To deal with ontologies of this scale, standard reasoning of classification is essential but not sufficient. The ability to extract relevant fragments from a large ontology and to incrementally classify it has become more crucial to support ontology design, maintenance and re-use. In this paper, we propose a pragmatic approach to module extraction and incremental classification for EL+ ontologies and report on empirical evaluations of our algorithms which have been implemented as an extension of the CEL reasoner.}, added-at = {2008-05-28T14:49:51.000+0200}, address = {Berlin, Heidelberg}, author = {Suntisrivaraporn, Boontawee}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/23171f537650171bf487c8afdc4b90320/eswc2008}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 5th European Semantic Web Conference}, editor = {Hauswirth, Manfred and Koubarakis, Manolis and Bechhofer, Sean}, interhash = {e1f2379bcbf256f19e2269367bef5877}, intrahash = {3171f537650171bf487c8afdc4b90320}, keywords = {ontology logic description extraction classification module incremental formal-languages-1}, month = {June}, publisher = {Springer Verlag}, series = {LNCS}, timestamp = {2008-05-28T14:49:51.000+0200}, title = {Module Extraction and Incremental Classification: A Pragmatic Approach for EL+ Ontologies}, url = {http://data.semanticweb.org/conference/eswc/2008/papers/14}, year = 2008 }
