Ontology Modularization

Ontology modularization is the process of breaking down a complex knowledge structure, called an ontology, into smaller, manageable parts or modules. This helps improve usability and understanding by allowing people to focus on specific areas of knowledge without being overwhelmed by the entire system. Each module represents a distinct subject or theme, which can be developed or modified independently while still being connected to the larger knowledge framework. This approach enhances collaboration, efficiency, and clarity, making it easier for individuals and organizations to work with and apply knowledge in different contexts.
