Developing A Modular Hydrogeology Ontology Extending The Sweet Ontologies, Ajay Tripathi
Developing A Modular Hydrogeology Ontology Extending The Sweet Ontologies, Ajay Tripathi
Geosciences Theses
Application of ontologies in the environmental science will allow experts in this field to model their domain knowledge for more efficient exchange and reuse. This thesis presents a modular approach in reengineering existing upper-level ontologies to conceptualize specific domain knowledge. The aim of extending these upper-level ontologies is to tailor and transform the existing conceptual models into new ones designed for the use in a specific domain in the earth sciences. This thesis extends the upper-level Semantic Web for Earth and Environmental Terminology (SWEET)ontologies to develop ontologies for part of the hydrogeology domain. The existing SWEET ontologies are developed by …
