- Modularization
The notion of Ontology Modularization refers to a methodological principle in
ontology engineering . The idea is that an ontology is built in a modular manner, i.e. developed as a set of small modules and later composed to form, and be used as, one modular ontology. Composition operators can be defined for automatic module composition (Jarrar 2005, Jarrar 2005a).The CContology is an ebusiness ontology, built according to this Modularization principle.
DogmaModeler is a modeling tool that was also supports this principle.ee also
