ABSTRACT
Ontologies and ontology based systems are becoming increasingly important in meeting the demand for more powerful and flexible information systems. Requirements for such systems include the need to deal with incomplete and semi-structured information, to integrate information from heterogeneous sources, to employ richer and more flexible schemas, and for query answers to reflect both knowledge and data. Provision of such enhanced capabilities must, however, be in addition to, and not instead of, the well-established features of existing database systems, in particular their robust scalability. Achieving this is, of course, extremely challenging. In this talk I will present some recent research efforts that tackle this problem, including investigations of tractable fragments, new algorithmic techniques, new optimisations and the exploitation of relational database technology.

Ontology Change in Ontology-Based Information Integration Systems
Proceedings of the 12th European Semantic Web Conference on The Semantic Web. Latest Advances and New Domains - Volume 9088Ontology change is an important part of the Semantic Web field that helps researchers and practitioners to deal with changes performed in ontologies. Ontology change is especially important in Ontology-Based Information Integration OBII systems, where ...
A perdurant ontology for interoperating information systems based on interlocking institutional worlds
In this work we have developed a formal ontology for perdurants suitable for representing interlocking institutional worlds in the general area of interoperating information systems. The formal ontology is a specialization of the perdurant elements of ...
