Tracking Name Patterns in OWL Ontologies.
Vojtěch Svátek, Ondřej Šváb · 2007
Abstract. Analysis of concept naming in OWL ontologies with set-theoretic semantics could serve as partial means for understanding their conceptual structure, detecting modelling errors and assessing their quality. We carried out experiments on three existing ontologies from public repositories, concerning the consistency of very simple name patterns—subclass name being a certain kind of parent class name extension, while considering thesaurus relationships. Several probable taxonomic errors were identified in this way. 1
