Description
Summary:In the last decades, the multilevel problem has received increasing attention in the conceptual modelling and semantic web communities. Recently, we proposed a solution to this problem in the context of ontological modelling which consists in extending the Web Ontology Language OWL with a new multilevel constructor that equates instances to classes. In this work we highlight the advantages of exploiting the reasoning capabilities of OWL ontologies with the proposed multilevel constructor by analizing requirements from a real-world application on the accounting domain.
