Cost Estimation for Ontology Development
نویسندگان
چکیده
Techniques for reliably estimating development efforts are a fundamental requirement for a wide-scale dissemination of ontologies in business contexts. In this paper we account for the similarities and differences between software and ontology engineering in order to establish the appropriateness of applying software cost models to ontologies. We propose a parametric approach to cost estimation for ontology development and analyze various cost factors implied in the ontology engineering process.

Cost estimation for ontology development: applying the ONTOCOM model
Techniques for reliably estimating development efforts are a fundamental requirement for a wide-scale dissemination of ontologies in real-world application settings. The parametric cost estimation model ONTOCOM is a first attempt to cope with the lack of instruments for business measurements in the field of ontology engineering. This paper is intended as a user guide to ONTOCOM. It describes ho...
متن کاملانتیرانداک: سامانه یکپارچه توسعه مشارکتی هستاننگار فارسی
While ontology development is beneficial, it is very costly and time consuming. In order to reduce this cost as well as to increase the accuracy and quality of ontology development, researchers have proposed different methodologies. The goal of these methodologies is to present a systematic manual or semi-automated development of ontologies, while each differs and has its strengths and weakness...
متن کاملA Model-Driven Decision Support System for Software Cost Estimation (Case Study: Projects in NASA60 Dataset)
Estimating the costs of software development is one of the most important activities in software project management. Inaccuracies in such estimates may cause irreparable loss. A low estimate of the cost of projects will result in failure on delivery on time and indicates the inefficiency of the software development team. On the other hand, high estimates of resources and costs for a project wil...
متن کاملEstablishing formalized representation of specifications for construction cost estimation by using ontology learning
Construction cost estimation for tendering is important for both tenders and bidders in construction projects and needs to be strictly complied with corresponding specifications so that quantities and prices from different bidders are comparable. In the view of flexibility and extensibility, ontology is regarded as a promising technology for formalized representation of the specifications for c...
متن کاملTowards a Cost Estimation Model for Ontology Engineering
This paper introduces ONTOCOM, a parametric cost estimation model for Semantic Web ontologies. After analyzing established, general-purpose cost estimation methodologies we propose a methodology, which can be applied to develop cost models for ontology engineering. We examine the particularities of this engineering field on the basis of the proposed methodology, in order to identify cost factor...
