Facilitating Ontology Co-evolution with Ontology Instance Migration

Abstract

An ontology is typically defined in terms of some vocabulary that is defined using other ontologies. When the vocabulary changes, it is important for a dependent ontology to evolve in a consistent manner. Automating the migration of ontologies based on changes to their vocabulary is requisite to proper adoption of ontologies for varying fields of use. Oital is a transformation language capable of automatically migrating dependent ontologies. It helps make ontologies easier to maintain as they evolve.
