Supporting Domain Experts in Creating Formal Knowledge Models (Ontologies)
نویسندگان
چکیده
We explored how the intended purpose of a knowledge model can influence the modelling process and in particular, how it impacts on the choice points of the underlying modelling methodology. We introduce a classification of knowledge models according to their intended scope, expressiveness and degree of acceptance. As a result, we aim to define critical success factors of methodologies for ontologies that are built by domain experts and that can be used as a basis for knowledge enabled (software) systems

ROO: A Tool to Assist Domain Experts with Ontology Construction
The time and effort required to create ontological structures is one of the major reasons for the reluctance of large organisations and businesses to utilise Semantic Web (SW) technologies. This is aggravated by the fact that most ontology construction tools are suited for knowledge engineers who may lack the necessary domain expertise to create the relevant ontologies. This can hinder the onto...
متن کاملDeveloping Domain Ontologies for Course Content
Ontologies have the potential to play an important role in instructional design and the development of course content. They can be used to represent knowledge about content, supporting instructors in creating content or learners in accessing content in a knowledge-guided way. While ontologies exist for many subject domains, their quality and suitability for the educational context might be uncl...
متن کاملBridging the gap between Legal Practitioners and Knowledge Engineers using semi-formal KR
The use of Structured English as a computation independent knowledge representation format for non-technical users in business rules representation has been proposed in OMG’s Semantics and Business Vocabulary Representation (SBVR). In the legal domain we face a similar problem. Formal representation languages, such as OASIS’ LegalRuleML and legal ontologies (LKIF, legal OWL2 ontologies etc.) su...
متن کاملSupporting domain experts to construct conceptual ontologies: A holistic approach
A recent trend in ontology engineering research aims at encouraging the active participation of domain experts in the ontology creation process. Ontology construction methodologies together with appropriate tools and technologies, such as controlled natural languages, semantic wikis, intelligent user interfaces and social computing, are being proposed to enable the direct input from domain expe...
متن کاملInteracting with Ontologies and Linked Data through Controlled Natural Languages and Dialogues
This paper describes a suite of tools developed at the University of Leeds which aim to make it easier for domain experts to be involved in the creation and use of ontologies. The paper summarises the main features of the tools and gives a short summary of our evaluations and experiences using the tools with domain experts. 1 Expressing Knowledge through a Controlled Natural Language At the cor...
