【 摘 要 】

Why modularize an ontology? In software engineering, modularly structured systems are desirable, all other things being equal. Given a well-designed modular program, it is generally easier to process, modify, and analyze it and to reuse parts by exploiting the modular structure. As a result, support for modules (or components, classes, objects, packages, aspects) is a commonplace feature in programming languages.
