Towards a Unified Approach to Modular Ontology Development Using the Aspect-Oriented Paradigm.
Ralph Schäfermeier, Adrian Paschke · 2013
Abstract. In this paper, we describe our ongoing work on the application of the Aspect-Oriented Programming paradigm to the problem of ontology modularization driven by overlapping modularization requirements. We examine commonalities between ontology modules and software aspects and propose an approach to applying the latter to the problem of a priori construction of modular ontologies and a posteriori ontology modularization.
