Abstract

The chapter introduces the process of design of two upper-level ontologies—PROTON and UMBEL—into reference ontologies and their integration in the so-called Reference Knowledge Stack (RKS). It is argued that RKS is an important step in the efforts of the Linked Open Data (LOD) project to transform the Web into a global data space with diverse real data, available for review and analysis. RKS is intended to make the interoperability between published datasets much more efficient than it is now. The approach discussed in the chapter consists of developing reference layers of upper-level ontologies by mapping them to certain LOD schemata and assigning instance data to them so they cover a reasonable portion of the LOD datasets. The chapter presents the methods (manual and semi-automatic) used in the creation of the RKS and gives examples that illustrate its advantages for managing highly heterogeneous data and its usefulness in real life knowledge intense applications.
