OntologyJam - A Toll for Ontology Reuse (original) (raw)

There has been notable growth in the use of ontologies in knowledge management. This occurs because, with the use of ontologies, knowledge is shared and re-utilized efficiently and clearly among all the resources, whether a person or an application. However, for ontologies to establish confidence within an extremely competitive and flexible market, which is currently the case, they must be created in a way that is swift and with high credibility, portability and scalability. However, there is a noted lack of tools to aid knowledge specialists for the construction of a new ontology. For this purpose, this article presents a tool that enables the research of concepts in the knowledge entities represented in a given ontology, by importing multiple ontologies. As a result, knowledge can be exported and modeled into a new ontology. This project is based on the re-utilization of knowledge, with the aim of extending an ontology so as to make it adequate to its application.
