DISO Network - VoID / Dublin Core description
A VoID and Dublin Core Terms description of DISO - the network of defence, intelligence and security ontologies - its subdomain clusters and its member ontologies.
DISO: Defence, Intelligence and Security Ontologies
DISO is a curated collection of publicly available OWL ontologies covering the domains of defence, intelligence and security, organised into subdomain clusters. It was assembled to support a defence, intelligence and security track for the Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative (OAEI).
The use of ontologies and knowledge graphs is becoming increasingly widespread in the defence and national security domain. Numerous ontologies have been developed through initiatives led by academia, industry, and government. Achieving interoperability across diverse defence and national security ontologies remains a major challenge due to the domain's breadth and specialisation. In this work, we analyse and document over 60 publicly available ontologies and introduce a new track for the Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative (OAEI). This track comprises eight matching tasks, consensus alignments and a subset of manually-curated mappings. The consensus alignments are derived by aggregating the outputs of several state-of-the-art ontology alignment systems.
