@inproceedings{ganter03creation, abstract = {We provide a new method for systematically structuring the top-down level of ontologies. It is based on an interactive, top--down knowledge acquisition process, which assures that the knowledge engineer considers all possible cases while avoiding redundant acquisition. The method is suited especially for creating/merging the top part(s) of the ontologies, where high accuracy is required, and for supporting the merging of two (or more) ontologies on that level.}, address = {Heidelberg}, author = {Ganter, Bernhard and Stumme, Gerd}, booktitle = {Conceptual Structures for Knowledge Creation and Communication.}, comment = {alpha}, editor = {de Moor, Aldo and Lex, Wilfried and Ganter, Bernhard}, interhash = {e7193e685762aca1a3f855b06e1e4289}, intrahash = {63bd63cb06802a5308959d611c1a017a}, pages = {131-145}, publisher = {Springer}, series = {LNAI}, title = {Creation and Merging of Ontology Top-Levels}, url = {http://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/stumme/papers/2003/ganter2003creation.pdf}, volume = 2746, year = 2003 }
