Computing Authoring Tests from Competency Questions: Experimental Validation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper explores whether Authoring Tests derived from Competency Questions accurately represent the expectations of ontology authors. In earlier work we proposed that an ontology authoring interface can be improved by allowing the interface to test whether a given Competency Question (CQ) is able to be answered by the ontology at a given stage of its construction, an approach known as CQ-driven Ontology Authoring (CQOA). The experiments presented in the present paper suggest that CQOA’s understanding of CQs matches users’ understanding quite well, especially for inexperienced ontology authors.

Towards Competency Question-Driven Ontology Authoring
Ontology authoring is a non-trivial task for authors who are not proficient in logic. It is difficult to either specify the requirements for an ontology, or test their satisfaction. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to address this problem by leveraging the ideas of competency questions and test-before software development. We first analyse real-world competency questions collected fro...
متن کاملVerifying Description Logic Ontologies based on Competency Questions and Unit Testing
Ontology testing can help guarantee ontology quality, by finding errors and inconsistencies in the ontology. There are few approaches for ontology testing inspired in methods employed by software engineering, and usually they depart from software requirements. Requirements in ontologies are the set of competency questions. A drawback of some ontology testing approaches resides on the fact that ...

متن کاملA two-year study of microscopic urinalysis competency using the urinalysis-review computer program.
BACKGROUND The microscopic examination of urine sediment is one of the most commonly performed microscope-based laboratory tests, but despite its widespread use, there has been no detailed study of the competency of medical technologists in performing this test. One reason for this is the lack of an effective competency assessment tool that can be applied uniformly across an institution. METH...
