Validating Ontologies with OOPS!
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ontology quality can be affected by the difficulties involved in ontology modelling which may imply the appearance of anomalies in ontologies. This situation leads to the need of validating ontologies, that is, assessing their quality and correctness. Ontology validation is a key activity in different ontology engineering scenarios such as development and selection. This paper contributes to the ontology validation activity by proposing a web-based tool, called OOPS!, independent of any ontology development environment, for detecting anomalies in ontologies. This tool will help developers to improve ontology quality by automatically detecting potential errors.

Did You Validate Your Ontology? OOPS!
The application of methodologies for building ontologies can improve ontology quality. However, such quality is not guaranteed because of the difficulties involved in ontology modelling. These difficulties are related to the inclusion of anomalies or bad practices within the ontology development. Several authors have provided lists of typical anomalies detected in ontologies during the last dec...
متن کاملThe Current Landscape of Pitfalls in Ontologies
A growing number of ontologies are already available thanks to development initiatives in many different fields. In such ontology developments, developers must tackle a wide range of difficulties and handicaps, which can result in the appearance of anomalies in the resulting ontologies. Therefore, ontology evaluation plays a key role in ontology development projects. OOPS! is an on-line tool th...

متن کاملAn On-line Tool for Ontology Evaluation
This paper presents two contributions to the field of Ontology Evaluation. First, a live catalogue of pitfalls that extends previous works on modeling errors with new pitfalls resulting from an empirical analysis of over 693 ontologies. Such a catalogue classifies pitfalls according to the Structural, Functional and UsabilityProfiling dimensions. For each pitfall, we incorporate the value of it...
متن کاملValidating Top-level and Domain Ontology Alignments using WordNet
Matching domain and top-level ontologies is an important task but still an open problem in the ontology matching field, particularly due to their different levels of abstraction. Beyond that, validating candidate alignments is crucial before exploiting them within ontology construction and integration processes involving such kinds of ontologies. This paper concerns the automatic validation of ...
