Integrating Domain Ontologies into Knowledge-Based Systems

All Papers

The work presented in this paper deals with the integration of heavyweight ontologies into Knowledge-Based Systems (KBS). We claim that such ontologies have to be built at the conceptual level, and that their use in a KBS requires an operationalization step, that consists in transcribing the ontology in an operational knowledge representation language according to a given scenario of use. For this purpose, we propose TooCoM, a tool based on the Conceptual Graphs model and dedicated to the edition and the operationalization of heavyweight ontologies.
