On the formalization of aggregate relation based on ontology and its implement of OWL
Bo Zhao, Duan Chong-jiang, Jie Zhang · 2011
In order to represent aggregate relation based on ontology clearly and correctly, the rich semantic properties of aggregate relation in addition to composition and aggregation are elaborated and formalized based on ontology in algebra theory in the paper. However, OWL, as an ontology modeling language, does not provide support for these semantic properties of aggregate relation directly. How to represent such the properties of aggregate relation in OWL is discussed and presented.
