Abstract
In a computer system, an ontology is derived from an original data source, such as from an relational database. At any time, a user can relate useful information to an ontology node, for example, by entering a document annotation into the ontology. Later, the user can retrieve the information through the annotation and view the document together with the ontology. An ontology update scheme keeps the document annotation available even if changes in the original data would remove the corresponding portions of the ontology. In the ontology, the scheme moves the annotations from a first ontology node to a second ontology node, by following a pre-defined change pattern.
