Domain ontologies need to stay consistent with external resources that change over time. The arXiv preprint 2610.24322 introduces COATER, a method designed to automate this review process.
COATER works through executable review components called arrows. Each arrow is responsible for comparing a scoped part of an ontology with a corresponding piece of external knowledge, allowing the review to be modular and repeatable.
The authors demonstrate the approach in a software language engineering case study. However, the abstract is truncated and does not include specific results or evaluation details, so the effectiveness of the method is not yet clear from the available text.
