MDROntology - An Ontology for Managing Ontology Changes Impacts on Business Rules.
Amina Chniti, Patrick Albert, Jean Charlet · 2012
Abstract. In this paper, we focus on the impact of ontology changes on rules, or more specifically on business rules authored over ontologies. For this we develop the MDR framework (Model-Detect-Repair) based on the MDROntology and a set of rules. As rules depend on the ontology entities, ontology changes may make them inconsistent. The MDR framework analyses an ontology change to detect its impact (e.g. inconsistency) on rules and propose solutions, called repair, to repair the change impact. The MDROntology includes, among others, a change model, ontology changes classification and the impact of such changes on rules.
