Abstract:

 

To maintain several versions of ontology requires having means to differentiate the various versions and to ensure the validity of the authorities. For the implementation of our ontology, we chose Protégé.3.4 several reasons justified our choice: Protégé-3.4. source is an open editor and free, it allows to import and to export ontologies in the various languages of implementation (RDF-Diagram, OWL, DAML, OIL,… etc), it has a modular interface, this which allows its enrichment by modules additional (plugins), Protégé-3.4.1 allows the edition and the visualization of ontologies. Lastly, it is provided with API written in JAVA, which makes it possible to develop applications being able to reach ontologies of Protected and to handle them. The objective of this article is to underline the interest to have a tool for analysis of the differences between versions of ontology of the same field. We present the tool entitled CVO allowing to handle and compare ontologies in form OWL. The field of study relates to the medical field of the disease breast cancer.
