<br>understand the role of automatic reasoning in ontology building; <br>build an ontology and use a reasoner to draw inferences based on that<br>ontology; <br>gain experience in the Protégé 4 ontology building environment;

A series<br>of exercises take attendees through the process of conceptualizing the<br>toppings found on a pizza; the entry of this classification into the Protégé<br>environment; the description of many types of pizza. All this is set in the<br>context of using automatic reasoning to check the consistency of the growing<br>ontology and to use the reasoner to make queries about pizzas. Since 2003<br>this tutorial, in various forms, has been given over 20 times and been<br>attended by hundreds of budding ontologists. <br><br><br><br><br><br>-------------------------------------------------------------<br>Please email "<a href="mailto:list-subscriptions@nesc.ac.uk">list-subscriptions@nesc.ac.uk</a>" if you wish to be<br>removed from this mailing list.<br>-------------------------------------------------------------<br><br></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
