The FAIR principles have been widely cited, endorsed and adopted by a broad range of stakeholders since their publication in 2016. By intention, the 15 guiding do not dictate specific technological implementations, but provide guidance for improving Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability Reusability digital resources. This has likely contributed to adoption principles, because individual stakeholder communities can implement own solutions. However, it also resulted inconsistent...
This paper describes a long-term research program on developing ontological foundations for conceptual modeling. program, organized around the theoretical background of foundational ontology UFO (Unified Foundational Ontology), aims at theories, methodologies and engineering too ls with goal advancing modeling as theoretically sound discipline but also one that has concrete measurable practical implications. The historical context in which was conceived, briefly discusses its stratified...
The Unified Foundational Ontology (UFO) was developed over the last two decades by consistently putting together theories from areas such as formal ontology in philosophy, cognitive science, linguistics, and philosophical logics. It comprises a number of micro-theories addressing fundamental conceptual modeling notions, including entity types relationship types. aim this paper is to summarize current state UFO, presenting formalization ontology, along with analysis cases illustrate...
Domain engineering aims to support systematic reuse, focusing on modeling common knowledge in a problem domain. Ontologies have also been pointed as holding great promise for software reuse. In this paper, we present ODE (Ontology-based Engineering), an ontological approach domain that join ontologies and object-oriented technology.
According to the FAIR guiding principles, one of central attributes for maximizing added value information artifacts is interoperability. In this paper, I discuss importance, and propose a characterization notion Semantic Interoperability. Moreover, show that direct consequence view Interoperability cannot be achieved without support of, on hand, (i) ontologies, as meaning contracts capturing conceptualizations represented in and, other (ii) Ontology, discipline proposing formal meth- ods...
Abstract Competence-based approaches have received increased attention, as the demand for qualified people with right combination of competences establishes itself a major factor organizational performance. This paper examines how can be incorporated into Enterprise Architecture modeling: (i) we identify key set competence-related concepts such knowledge, skills, and attitudes, (ii) analyze relate them using reference ontology (grounded on Unified Foundational Ontology), (iii) propose...
The terms 'semantics' and 'ontology' are increasingly appearing together with 'explanation', not only in the scientific literature, but also everyday social interactions, particular, within organizations. Ontologies have been shown to play a key role supporting semantic interoperability of data knowledge representation structures used by information systems. With proliferation applications Artificial Intelligence (AI) different settings increasing need guarantee their explainability (but...
