Abstract
As more and more ontology designers follow the pattern-based approach, automatic analysis of those structures and their exploitation in semantic tools is becoming more doable and important. We present an approach to ontology transformation based on transformation patterns, which could assist in many semantic tasks (such as reasoning, modularisation or matching). Ontology transformation can be applied on parts of ontologies called ontology patterns. Detection of ontology patterns can be specific for a given use case, or generic. We first present generic detection patterns along with some experimental results, and then detection patterns specific for ontology matching. Furthermore, we detail the ontology transformation phase along with an example of transformation pattern based on an alignment pattern.
