A Process Ontology

2002
This paper describes an ontology for process representation. The ontology provides a vocabulary of classes and relations at a level above the primitive event-instance, object-instance and timepoint description. The design of this ontology balances two main concerns: to provide a concise set of useful abstractions of process, and to provide an adequate ...

Ontology Graph Generation Process

2011
In this chapter, we define an ontology generation method that transforms the ontology learning outcome to the Ontology Graph format for machine processing and also can be visualized for human validation. We first formalize the Ontology Graph structure and define the generation methods. After that an experiment of automatic generation of Domain Ontology
