C-OWL: Contexts meet Ontologies

In this talk Fausto will describe C-OWL, a language which allows to add context mapping to ontologies. The resulting objects, called contextual ontologies, have the advantages of both ontologies and contexts. In particular, similarly to ontologies, they allow to share information whenever this is possible or to keep it local, like contexts, otherwise. The second part of his talk will concentrate on semantic matching, namely on how it is possible to discover context mapping automatically.
