Motivation for this Book Ontologies have received increasing
attention over the last two decades. Their roots can be traced back
to the ancient philosophers, who were interested in a c-
ceptualization of the world. In the more recent past, ontologies
and ontological engineering have evolved in computer science,
building on various roots such as logics, knowledge representation,
information modeling and management, and (knowledge-based)
information systems. Most recently, largely driven by the next
generation internet, the so-called Semantic Web, ontological
software engineering has developed into a scientific field of its
own, which puts particular emphasis on the theoretical foundations
of representation and reasoning, and on the methods and tools
required for building ontology-based software applications in
diverse domains. Though this field is largely dominated by computer
science, close re- tionships have been established with its diverse
areas of application, where - searchers are interested in
exploiting the results of ontological software engine- ing,
particularly to build large knowledge-intensive applications at
high productivity and low maintenance effort. Consequently, a large
number of scientific papers and monographs have been p- lished in
the very recent past dealing with the theory and practice of
ontological software engineering. So far, the majority of those
books are dedicated to the th- retical foundations of ontologies,
including philosophical treatises and their re- tionships to
established methods in information systems and ontological software
engineering.
