Title:	An Adaptation Methodology for Reusing Ontologies
Author:	Bathija, Vishal
Description:	Ontologies are an emerging means of knowledge representation that can improve information organization and management in an application. They have demonstrated their value in numerous application areas such as intelligent information integration or information brokering since they offer the technical support for sharing and exchanging information between human and/or software agents. Despite their successes, their time-consuming and expensive development process deters the prevalent use of ontologies. Thus, research is focusing on ways to improve the process of ontology construction which involves recognizing, representing, and recording concept definitions and their relationships. This thesis research investigates existing methods for ontology learning and develops ontology adaptation software architecture for transforming an ontology from one domain to a related or similar domain. Using this software, the SEURAT’s Argument Ontology for the domain of software engineering is adapted to create an initial ontology that supports engineering design for the specific problem domain of spacecraft design.
