On belief change and ontology evolution

Since the first peer-reviewed journal appeared in the late 17th century, journals have been the most important platform for scientists to publish articles. Over the last decade, the fast growth of online social networking and media services has brought us numerous valuable data and several applications to track the topic trends in a field and facilitate collaborations between scientists, thus making Web 2.0 and the emerging Web 3.0 as essential as electronic and paper formats for managing scientific journals. In this paper, we propose a working prototype for an intelligent journal system (IJS) for intelligent transportation systems based on the idea of Web 3.0-based next generation of journal systems: IJSs. Some preliminary results are presented to show the validity of our system. Index Terms-Adaptive ontology, application-specific knowledge engine (ASKE), journal intelligence, social media.

Recent advances in Web and information technologies have resulted in many e-learning resources. There is an emerging requirement to manage and reuse relevant resources together to achieve on-demand e-learning in the Web. Ontologies have become a key technology for enabling semantic-driven resource management. We argue that to meet the requirements of semantic-based resource management for Web-based e-learning, one should go beyond using domain ontologies statically. In this paper, we provide a semantic mapping mechanism to integrate e-learning databases by using ontology semantics. Heterogeneous e-learning databases can be integrated under a mediated ontology. Taking into account the locality of resource reuse, we propose to represent contextspecific portions from the whole ontology as subontologies. We present a subontology-based approach for resource reuse by using an evolutionary algorithm. We also conduct simulation experiments to evaluate the approach with a traditional Chinese medicine e-learning scenario and obtain promising results.Index Terms-Semantic Web, collaborative learning, information resource management, knowledge reuse.
