Ontology provides a system of basic primitives, terms, concepts and axioms that constitute the model. We present an ontology-based evolutionary model management framework that authors can build their models without concern for the complicated consistency and evolutionary management among multiple view models based on the ontology. Our ontological approach to evolutionary management is that we deeply analyze and clarify generic principles of knowledge construction and modeling premises. In this paper, we first consider the fundamental issues of conceptual relations and identity. And we suggest our philosophy that can deal explicitly with authors’ viewpoint and their viewpoint change/movement. Then, we show our evolutionary model management framework taking simple examples.Read the full paper here: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-540-30466-1_34
