Aspect-Oriented Ontology Development

Aspect-Oriented Ontology Development (AOOD) is

  1. a methodological and formal approach to ontology modularization
  2. a formal framework for representing context

A concrete implementation of AOOD is AspectOWL, a syntactic and semantic extension of the W3C OWL 2 language.
