Guiding the representation of n-ary relations in ontologies through aggregation, generalisation and participation
<22> The ontology engineering method and associated semantic primitives proposed in this paper were proved, mathematically, to be sound (as shown in the paper) and also pragmatically validated through two projects, one involving art historians and the other archaeologists. The first is mentioned in the paper. The second project was the Leverhulme Award 'Tracing Networks', which involved large datasets of archaeological findings collected by different teams. A plug-in was developed for Protégé to assist in the use of our method. Preliminary results were also presented at 23rd International Workshop on Description Logics, 2010.
