Zusammenfassung
Models are a conceptualization and aperture of
the real world. The asynchronous characteristics of this model
construction poses a significant problem especially in highly
dynamic and evolving environments. Hence, models need to be
permanently checked against the data they represent. From this
new challenges for modeling tools arise: Contemporary modeling
tools must be able to anticipate environmental events and changes
and to provide appropriate support for knowledge engineers. This
paper presents a conceptual approach to process events, collect
usage statistics and leverage this information for automatic and
semi-automatic modeling support of ontologies. In a prototypical
evaluation, a plugin for Protege is developed, that allows for
editing ontologies and visualizing new insights according to
captured statistics. The paper concludes with two distinct show
cases for business process modelling and sensor networks.
