A Grounded Ontology for Identity and Reference of Web Resources.
Aldo Gangemi, Valentina Presutti · 2007
The identity and reference of web resources used to be a critical subject, and recently it has become a key item in the research agenda of web science. After an introduction to the research related to web identity and reference, we present a new version of IRE, an OWL ontology of web resources and their referencing kinds. Finally, as a case study, we describe an implementation of IRE. Specifically, we show how IRE theory has been used to implement a semantic web application which supports the ontology-driven development and evolution of semantic web portals.
