User-Friendly Ontology Creation Methodologies - A Survey
نویسندگان
چکیده
The convergence of the semantic web and the social web to the social semantic web leads to new challenges in ontology engineering. As of today ontologies are created by highly specialized ontology engineers. In order to unite "the wisdom of crowds" and ontologies new approaches to ontology creation are necessary to bridge the "ontology gap" and enable novice users to create formalized knowledge. Numerous ontology development methodologies are available; in this paper we will briefly present 16 ontology development methodologies and evaluate them against criteria for their user-friendliness and their suitability for usage by novice users and domain experts. Our eventual goal is the identification of best practices and required research for user-friendly ontology design.

OntoClippy: A User-Friendly Ontology Design and Creation Methodology
In this article, the author describes OntoClippy, a tool-supported methodology for the user-friendly design and creation of ontologies. Existing ontology design methodologies and tools are targeted at experts and not suitable for users without a background in formal logic. Therefore, this research develops a methodology and a supporting tool to facilitate the acceptance of ontologies by a wider...
متن کاملUsing Ontologies - Understanding the User Experience
Drawing on 118 responses to a survey of ontology use, this paper describes the experiences of those who create and use ontologies. Responses to questions about language and tool use illustrate the dominant position of OWL and provide information about the OWL profiles and particular Description Logic features used. The paper suggests that further research is required into the difficulties exper...
متن کاملParticipatory Design of a Continuous Care Ontology - Towards a User-driven Ontology Engineering Methodology
The patient room of the future would be able to sense the needs and preferences of the patients and nurses and adapt itself accordingly by combining all the heterogeneous data offered by the different technologies. This goal can be achieved by developing a context-aware framework, which exploits and integrates the heterogeneous data by utilizing a continuous care ontology. The existing ontology...
متن کاملThe State of Multi-User Ontology Engineering
Collaborative ontology engineering enables the creation of large complex ontologies. However, few projects successfully perform such multi-user ontology modeling. This paper gives an overview of ten different ontology engineering projects’ infrastructure, architecture and workflows. It especially focuses on issues regarding collaborative ontology modeling. The survey leads on to a discussion of...
متن کاملCollaborative ontology engineering: a survey
Building ontologies in a collaborative and increasingly community-driven fashion has become a central paradigm of modern ontology engineering. This understanding of ontologies and ontology engineering processes is the result of intensive theoretical and empirical research within the Semantic Web community, supported by technology developments such as Web 2.0. Over 6 years after the publication ...
