Abstract

Ontology undergoes successive phases of evolution in the context of engineering. Taking into account successive modification impacts is of a particular importance, the least change causing an imbalance of the ontology badly taken into account can involve a dysfunction of the whole artifacts which depend on it. In this paper we focus on an approach allowing to priori discover ontologies modification impacts and changes control by the detection of impact propagation paths based on a set of assertions and reverse engineering according to a lexical ontology model for controlling ripple effects.
