Modeling contextual concepts and multiple points of view in an ontology for Traditional Medicine

What is it about?

The complexity of building an ontology increases with the wide range of the source of knowledge (experts, documents, applications, etc.), since these sources can have different goals, different perspectives, different point of view. Hence, how to address this problem of building a multi-context ontology. The paper proposes an approach to take into account in a single ontology, the different points of view of knowledge experts to capture the "deep" semantics of a given domain. The approach is illustrated on an ontology for African Traditional Medicine which is full of contextual information and multiple points of view.
