But the lifecycle of an ontology is co-extensive with the lifecycle of any application or system that uses or is based on that ontology. This morning, I sent replies to two email lists that most people on this list subscribe to. 1. To Nancy W. on IAOA, I made the point that you can't separate the ontology of a system from its architecture or design. 2. To Rich C. on Ontolog Forum: "Imagine an IT department that had one group doing the architecture, a second group doing the design, a third group doing the ontology, and a fourth group doing the implementation." Amanda responded, > Sadly, John, some of us don't have to imagine this; we can remember it! I would relate that point to evaluation: a critical issue in a good ontology is its accuracy in reflecting the design and/or architecture of the system. There are aspects and modules that could be distinguished. For example, the complete ontology of a system might combine multiple modules or microtheories. But the complete ontology of a system and its complete architecture must be closely coordinated. Any evaluation of an ontology must address these issues.
