Applying ontological engineering to ecological modelling: detection of conceptual errors
Applying ontological engineering to ecological modelling: detection of conceptual errors
Despite the fact that ontologies have gained great interest by the knowledge based systems community in the recent years, there is a dearth of applications based on formal ontologies. In the paper we shed light in an undiscovered corner in the use of formal ontologies: use of ontological constraints in combination with meta-interpretation in order to reveal potential conceptual errors in specifications. We applied this approach to ecological modelling and we report here 7 potential error cases that were revealed.

Abstract
Despite the fact that ontologies have gained great interest by the knowledge based systems community in the recent years, there is a dearth of applications based on formal ontologies. In the paper we shed light in an undiscovered corner in the use of formal ontologies: use of ontological constraints in combination with meta-interpretation in order to reveal potential conceptual errors in specifications. We applied this approach to ecological modelling and we report here 7 potential error cases that were revealed.
