Zusammenfassung
Recently, an overall trend towards increasing complexity of
ontologies could be observed, not only in terms of domain modeling,
where the complexity should correspond to the information to be modeled,
but also as regards the addition of further information, which could
be modeled as external resources to the domain model and linked to its
relevant elements. This concerns the addition of terminological and linguistic
information to the description of classes and properties of ontologies.
To respond to this development, we propose a functional approach
to the modularization of ontologies, based on terminological, linguistic,
and conceptual functions each module fulfills. Only the conceptual elements
and their structural properties should remain in the domain model,
whereas the formalized terminology and linguistics are described in independent
modules referencing the domain models. We provide examples
of such complexity in Knowledge Representation systems, discuss related
work, and present our approach to modularization in detail.
