Schema Evolution publication categorizer

We present an approach to support the evolution of online,
distributed, reusable, and extendable ontologies based on the RDF data
model. The approach works on the basis of atomic changes, basically additions or deletions of statements to or from an RDF graph. Such atomic
changes are aggregated to compound changes, resulting in a hierarchy
of changes, thus facilitating the human reviewing process on various levels of detail. These derived compound changes may be annotated with
meta-information and classified as ontology evolution patterns. The introduced ontology evolution patterns in conjunction with appropriate
data migration algorithms enable the automatic migration of instance
data in distributed environments.
