Abstract

In this paper we present GOSPL, which stands for Grounding Ontologies with Social Processes and Natural Language. GOSPL is a method and tool that supports stakeholders in iteratively interpreting and modeling their common hybrid ontologies using their own terminology for semantic interoperability between autonomously developed and maintained information systems. Hybrid ontologies are ontologies in which concepts are both formally and informally described with the help of a special linguistic resource called glossary. Social interactions between the community members drive the ontology evolution process and result in more stable and agreed upon ontologies.
