During the last two decades, ontologies has been one of the main formalisms, applied in domain modeling, and currently one can find ontological representations in almost every field of knowledge.
Consequently, I am looking for a book, which can support teaching in a first course on ontologies, their foundations, development and applications, to college undergraduate students.
I strongly recommend three of them. The first one is the book The Description Logic Handbook. Theory, implementation, and applications from Cambridge University Press. This book is very important, taking into account that description logic is the mathematical formalism used by ontologies. The second one is Handbook on Ontologies from Springer. The last one is Ontological Engineering Springer too. In this case, the book was written by Asunción Gómez and colleagues from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. I have all of them. Please, write me a PM and I will send you. Best regards.
@Yusniel Hidalgo Delgado. Thank you Yusniel, I appreciate your post, I'll contact you.
Hi colleagues, I also suggest to have a look at "Semantic web for the working ontologist" in its second edition. It contains a pragmatic approach with very concrete examples how Semantic Web Technologies help to model information and how to proper model this information to obtain benefits, .e.g., from the reasoning process.
@Irlan Grangel-González. Thank you Irlan, good to read your post.
I highly recommend this course: https://open.hpi.de/courses/semanticweb2015, videolectures, slides, quizzes and exercises are available.
Please look at this PPT on Upper-level ontology http://www.inf.ed.ac.uk/teaching/courses/kmm/PDF/L7-DOLCE.pdf
It will help during formalism of the model.
Thank you @Leila Zemmouchi-Ghomari and @Subhashis Das for your valuable contributions to the topic.
I would second @Irlan Grangel-González, but as a supplementary source, I would also include "Handbook on Ontologies" by Staab.
I found a good source: http://www.meteck.org/teaching/OntoEngLectureNotes15.pdf
