Towards Parallel Repair: An Ontology Decomposition-based Approach
Yue Ma, Rafael Peñaloza · 2014
Abstract. Ontology repair remains one of the main bottlenecks for the development of ontologies for practical use. Many automated methods have been developed for suggesting potential repairs, but ultimately hu-man intervention is required for selecting the adequate one, and the human expert might be overwhelmed by the amount of information de-livered to her. We propose a decomposition of ontologies into smaller components that can be repaired in parallel. We show the utility of our approach for ontology repair, provide algorithms for computing this de-composition through standard reasoning, and study the complexity of several associated problems. 1
