On a Prototype Environment for Sub-ontology Extraction in Semantic Grid

Abstract

To efficiently utilize the large-scale ontology data distributed on the Semantic Grid is a problem issue of high concern. Sub-ontology extraction that reflects the user requirements is one method of addressing the issue. Large-scale ontology data can be optimized by extracting the required sub-ontology. In this paper, we construct a Semantic Grid prototype environment to extract the sub-ontology and conducted preliminary evaluation through illustrations using UMLSSN ontology data.
