Abstract

Neither developing ontologies nor aligning ontologies are easy tasks; and often the resulting ontologies and alignments are not consistent or complete. Such ontologies and alignments; although often useful; also lead to problems when used in semantically-enabled applications. In this paper we briefly introduce a system that supports domain experts in detecting and repairing wrong and missing is-a relations and mappings.
