Abstract: Over time, the data representatives a given domain can change,
both the data model reflecting the area. In this situation, the presence of
strategies that can summarize the produced changes is mandatory. This study
presents an implemented approach based on data mining techniques in order to
extract the differences, the model is domain ontology and the changes are
represented by two ontology’s versions. The results are summarized in changes
report. An experimentation of the tool was made on the ontology of the cancer
disease and satisfactory results were obtained.
Keywords: Ontology change, ontology versionning, Web Ontology Language (OWL) scheme, retrieval information.
