Motivation and Objectives
The process of building ontologies
has traditionally been an art rather
than an engineering process, despite the existence of methodologies for
supporting this process. The correct application of methodologies
already help guarantee some quality in the resulting ontology, although
the quality offered by such methodologies has not, so far,
been
measured quantitative or qualitatively. There are no maturity
models for the ontology building processes that might be used for this
purpose. On the other hand, ontology design patterns play an
important role in obtaining higher quality ontologies. In the last
years, some international efforts have been put on defining such
patterns for generic ontology building or oriented to particular
domains, so knowing the best and worst practices would also contribute
to get better ontologies.
The objective of this workshop is to serve as a forum for sharing the
most recent efforts and experiences in this area, disseminating the
current best practices and discussing the directions that the field
should take. Therefore, this workshop is oriented to any researcher or
practitioner working or interested in the following areas:
- reusing ontologies with informed
decisions
- methods and tools for evaluating the
technical
quality of ontologies
- methods and tools for evaluating the
quality of the
content of ontologies
- methods and tools for improving
ontology
construction processes
- methods and tools for adapting and
applying quality
standards from other engineering fields to ontology evaluation
- relevant dimensions of quality for
domain and
high-level ontologies in specific domains
- methods and tools for evaluating the
practical and
social success of ontologies
- best (and worst) practices in ontology
building
- improving the quality of ontologies
through design
patterns
- experiences of quality evaluation in
specific
domains
