Extraction process specification for materialized ontology views

The success of the semantic web relies heavily on ontologies. However, using ontologies for this specific area poses a number of new problems. One of these problems, extracting a high quality ontology from a given base ontology, is currently receiving increasing attention. Areas such as versioning,...
