Ontologies are the prime way of organizing data in the Semantic Web. Often, it is necessary to combine several, independently developed ontologies to obtain a knowledge graph fully representing a domain of interest. The complementarity of…

This paper argues that certain ontology design problems are profitably addressed by treating ontologies as theories and by defining a set of operations that create new ontologies, including their constraints, out of other ontologies. The…

We study Matching and other related problems in a partial information setting where the agents' utilities for being matched to other agents are hidden and the mechanism only has access to ordinal preference information. Our model is…

Ontologies can act as a schema for constructing knowledge graphs (KGs), offering explainability, interoperability, and reusability. We explore \emph{ontology-compliant} KGs, aiming to build both internal and external ontology compliance. We…
