IOPE: Interactive Ontology Population and Enrichment Guided by Ontological Constraints

International audienceIn this paper, we focus on the construction of specialized ontologies that capture skills of experienced experts in a particular domain with the goal of sharing them with a larger community of trainees or less experienced experts in the domain. Our main contribution is the automatic construction of a Graphical User Interface (GUI) named IOPE built from the ontological constraints of an input ontology, as the support for the controlled update process of the considered ontology. The resulting GUI functions as a guidance for the experts with no knowledge of OWL/RDFS, which enables them to easily explore and update their ontologies. We illustrate the functionality of IOPE on an ontology for simulation-based medical workshops called OntoSAMSEI
