Notas del editor
- 29769 classes in latest OWL file release Of these, 28875 are descendents of chemical entity, 596 are roles 41 subatomic particles and 257 are chemical entities not classified as chemical entities, thus, the real count for chems is 29132
- Higher expressivity is not necessarily required for question answering, since the inferred hierarchy can be exported to OWL-EL for question answering.
- I am coming from the software engineering perspective in this talk. Modularity is a tool to design complex systems while focusing on local organisation.
- Tools are needed which are able to perform modularization of existing ontologies for purposes of ease of maintenance, then recombination for query answering.Shared terms between modules (represented only once)good way of thinking about it: Modular VIEWS on the overall ontologyAlso the ability to extract modules for import into other ontologies
