Abstract

Representing part-whole and mereotopological relations in an ontology is a well-known challenge. We have structured 23 types of part-whole relations and hidden the complexities of the underlying mereotopological theory behind a user-friendly tool: OntoPartS. It automates modelling guidelines using, mainly, the categories from DOLCE so as to take shortcuts in the selection process, and it includes examples and verbalizations to increase understandability. The modeller’s domain ontology, represented in any of the OWL species, can be updated automatically with the selected relation with a simple one-click button.
