Abstract

This article describes Ontocopi, a tool for identifying communities of practice by analyzing ontologies of relevant working domains. Ontocopi spots patterns in ontological formal relations, traversing the ontology from instance to instance via selected relations. The authors describe experiments with an academic ontology, showing how altering threshold settings, temporal settings, and weights applied to relations affect COP composition.
