Schema Evolution publication categorizer

Ontologies are heavily developed and used in life sciences and undergo
continuous changes. However, the evolution of life science ontologies
and references to them (e.g., annotations) is not well understood and has received
little attention so far. We therefore propose a generic framework for analyzing
both the evolution of ontologies and the evolution of ontology-related
mappings, in particular annotations referring to ontologies and similarity
(match) mappings between ontologies. We use our framework for an extensive
comparative evaluation of evolution measures for 16 life science ontologies.
Moreover, we analyze the evolution of annotation mappings and ontology mappings
for the Gene Ontology.
