A Collaborative Ontology Construction Tool with Conflicts Detection

Abstract

Ontology construction itself is a big challenge, especially when the ontology is expected to have relevance and value to a broad audience. In recent years, many collaborative methods for ontology construction are proposed. However, whenever there is collaborative developments there are conflicts. Current collaborative methods are suitable for teamwork, but they are ineffective if the team is big and lacks communication. In this paper, we introduce the tool we establish for collaborative ontology construction, as well as collaborative conflict detection method.
