Ontology Development

Ontology development focuses on creating formal representations of knowledge within specific domains, aiming for interoperability and efficient knowledge discovery. Current research emphasizes automating ontology construction and alignment using large language models and advanced techniques like Chain-of-Thought decoding, as well as leveraging modular design patterns and competency questions to improve quality and efficiency. These advancements are crucial for facilitating data integration across diverse scientific disciplines and enabling the development of sophisticated knowledge graphs for various applications, including improved Industry 4.0 systems and enhanced materials science research.
