Modular Ontology

Modular ontologies are knowledge representation systems designed to organize information into reusable, independent modules, facilitating scalability and maintainability. Current research emphasizes developing modular ontologies for specific domains, such as industrial maintenance, manufacturing processes, and metadata schemas, often leveraging established methodologies to ensure both modularity and semantic consistency. This approach enhances interoperability and data sharing across diverse applications, improving data analysis and knowledge integration within and across scientific disciplines and industrial settings.
