Modular Ontologies: Proceedings of the Fifth International Workshop (Womo 2011)
Summary
Modularity has been and continues to be one of the central research topics in ontology engineering, still catching up with 40 years of related research in software engineering. The workshops on Modular Ontologies (WoMO) bring together researchers from different disciplines who study the problem of modularity in ontologies at a fundamental level, develop design tools for distributed ontology engineering, and apply modularity to different use cases and application scenarios. The contributions in this volume are of interest to researchers, students and practitioners interested in foundations of o.
