GoodRelations: An Ontology for Describing Products and Services Offers on the Web (2008, methodology): “For a formal justification of that distinction, please refer to the OntoClean methodology [12, 13].”
Sweetening WORDNET with DOLCE (2003, methodology): “In recent years, we developed a methodology for testing the ontological adequacy of taxonomic links called ONTOCLEAN (Guarino and Welty 2002a, 2002b), which was used as a tool for a first systematic analysis of WORDNET's upper-level taxonomy of nouns (Gangemi, Guarino , and Oltramari 2001).”
Structural semantic interconnection: a knowledge-based approach to Word Sense Disambiguation (2005, background): “Despite these criticisms and efforts to overcome some limitations (e.g., the OntoClean project [17]), these knowledge repositories became highly popular to the point where dedicated conferences are organized each year among the scientists that use these resources for a variety of applications in…”
Sweetening Ontologies with DOLCE (2002, methodology): “In the recent years, we developed a methodology for testing the ontological adequacy of taxonomic links called OntoClean [14, 13], which was used as a tool for a first systematic analysis of WordNet’s upper level taxonomy of nouns [6].”
A SURVEY OF ONTOLOGY EVALUATION TECHNIQUES (2005, background): “A somewhat different aspect of ontology evaluation has been discussed by GUARINO AND WELTY (2002).”
Ontological realism: A methodology for coordinated evolution of scientific ontologies (2010, neutral): “DOLCE and BFO in fact grew out of a common philosophical orientation, and thus BFO over-laps with parts of DOLCE’s top level and is in close conformity with the DOLCE-associated OntoClean methodology (Guarino and Welty, 2002).”
A semiotic metrics suite for assessing the quality of ontologies (2005, methodology): “Likewise, in knowledge engineering, Guarino and Welty [19] use formal ontology to evaluate the quality of is – a relationships in ontologies.”
Ontologies: How can They be Built? (2004, background): “Two important proposals for ontology evaluation are (Gómez-Pérez 2001; GómezPérez et al. 1995) and ONTOCLEAN (Guarino and Welty 2002; Welty and Guarino 2001).”
