Topic: *Strategy for Developing an Ontology - First Steps* (06)
*Abstract*: (07)
Analyzing the users, use and content that will be the focus of an
ontology is as important as the technologies that support its
implementation. The initial analysis can determine whether your
ontology is extensible and sustainable, whether you need one
ontology or multiple ontologies, which technologies are best
suited to implementing your ontology. This presentation will
suggest a strategy for analyzing your ontological needs. The
strategy derives from the approach taken to develop ontologies in
the development community over the past ten years. We will take
as a case in point the Ontolog content and user community. (08)
