http://sites.google.com/site/defsinontos2016/home Definitions of terms in ontologies serve a number of purposes. For example, logical definitions allow reasoners to assist in and verify classification, lessening the development burden and enabling expressive query. Natural language definitions can help ameliorate low inter-annotator agreement. Good definitions allow for non-experts and experts in adjacent disciplines to understand unfamiliar terms making it possible to confidently use terms in external ontologies, facilitating data integration. The workshop is focused on definition writing, evaluation, revision strategies, methodologies, and tools.
