Abstract. The paper presents a new method for representation and processing ontological knowledge -Knowledge Cartography. This method allows for inferring implicit knowledge from both: terminological part (TBox) and assertional part (ABox) of a Description Logic ontology. The paper describes basics of the method and gives some theoretical background of the method. Knowledge Cartography stores and processes ontologies in terms of binary signatures, which gives efficient way of querying ontologies containing numerous individuals. Knowledge Cartography has been applied in KASEA -a knowledge management system that is being developed in course of a European integrated research project called PIPS. Results of efficiency experiments and ideas of further development of the system are presented and discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
