基于森林转化为树的本体模块化方法

针对目前本体的构建效率低、重用能力弱的问题，研究了一种新的本体模块化方法——基于森林转化为树的方法. 将待建模领域逐层分解为若干个不可再分的子领域，对各个子领域分别进行构建本体模块；最后根据概念间的继承关系和《数据结构》中森林转化为树的原理，把若干个本体模块组装成一个模块化本体. 在大学领域本体的构建上，对该方法进行了验证，结果证明，该方法可有效的提高本体的重用能力，可为构建大型领域本体提供一条有效途径.

Modular Method of Ontology Based on Forest-Tree Transformation

One problem the present ontology faces is low construction efficiency and low reusability. For this issue, this paper proposed a new modular method for ontology based on transforming the forest into trees. In this method, the domain was decomposed into atomic subfields, each of which was modeled individually and later assembled into a modular ontology according to the inheritance relationships among the concepts and the principles for transforming a forest into trees. We examined this modular method by constructing the ontology on the undergraduate studies level, and proved that this modular method can effectively improve the reusability of the ontology, and thus was an effective approach for constructing ontology in large scale domains.
