Abstract
Ontologies have been widely used in advanced information systems. However, it has been a challenging issue in ontology engineering to efficiently revise ontologies as new information becomes available. A novel method of revising ontologies has been proposed recently by Wang et al. However, related algorithms have not been implemented yet. In this article we describe an implementation of these algorithms called OntoRevision and report some experimental results. Our system is a plug-in for revising general ontologies in Protégé and thus can be used by Protégé users to revise ontologies automatically.
