Abstract
An ontology graph model,whi ch creates ontology adjacency matrix and ontology reachability matrix,is descri bed.Depending on matrix shift and calculation,rippleeffect of ontology evolut ion can be analyzed and its quantity can be ascertained.Every rippleeffect cau sed by ontology change operation is described.At the same time,approaches for calculating ontology element contribution,ontology cohesions and effect degree applied to every ontology element during ontology evolution,are provided.Rippl eeffect analysis for dependencyunknown ontology evolution is discussed,and a server model for ontology evolution is also provided.All are credible foundatio n for management,control,usage and evaluation of ontology evolution,and are f oundation for ontology evolution automation calculation in computer.
