Perspective-based accessing to Web datasources an approach using distributed description logics

Abstract

We propose in this paper to use distributed description logics to access the whole annotated Web resources from any ontology. Web content is annotated by multiple ontologies. So, each ontology annotates only part of Web content. To make accessing the whole annotated Web resources from any ontology, we propose to connect ontologies among them. However, each ontology provides domain semantics only from a particular perspective. So, inter-ontology connections have to take into account heterogeneity due to ontology perspectives. Syntax and semantics of proposed formalization is fully inspired from Distributed Description Logics.
