Abstract

Slicing is a method that can extract required segments from data according some special criteria. Program slicing and model slicing are two familiar slicing techniques. By introducing slicing technique into ontology engineering domain, an ontology slicing method is provided in this paper. In the method, an Ontology Dependency Graph (ODG) is derived from OMG's Ontology Definition Metamodel (ODM), and then ontology slices are generated automatically according slicing criteria. This method has many applications in which large scale ontology processing is needed.
