Abstract

Although ontologies are used to describe a specific domain of interest, they can grow in size exponentially, compromising their usage. Furthermore, current ontology engineering tools do not effectively support the data/information visualization and navigation described through large ontologies. To address these issues, we claim that the experience and results of navigating/browsing ontology-described data can profit from the modularization of the ontologies underlying the repositories. For that, we propose the I3OM process that facilitates ontology-oriented navigation and contextualized information retrieval by combining different ontology modularization techniques into an iterative, incremental and interactive process.
