Hi all,    (01)

I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me by sharing some thoughts on 
and/or experiences of using ontological development methods. I am about to 
embark on the development of a business related ontology and would like to use 
an appropriate method to provide credibility and guidance to the development 
process. Also using a method would help the members of the team who are 
relatively new to this.     (02)

The three methods I am considering are:
* OTK method - On-to-Knowledge
* Methontology
* Ushold and King    (03)

The source for each method comes from the publication by Springer - Ontological 
Engineering.     (04)

The ontology will be developed in prot�g� v4 and will support software 
developers, vendors and the construction of enterprise knowledge bases. We also 
expect the ontology to evolve incrementally but I would like to have a 
recognised method to support the design and review activities.    (05)

What would be useful would be any comments on the methods - I have not used any 
of the three - or suggestions to other methods to consider.    (06)

Thanks in advance    (07)
