Michael, Matthew,
This proposal looks very good to me. I am not sure whether you have this in
mind, but would be helpful to use the "Dimensions"-track to establish a
framework that allows us to categorize different ontology evaluation
methodologies. Three of the dimensions that we might want to consider are
- the motivations for ontology evaluation: the situation of somebody who is
intending to reuse an ontology and needs to choose between a different
candidates is very different from the situation of somebody who wants to
measure progress and quality during the ontology development process. They will
likely need different evaluation techniques.
- the desirable properties of ontologies that can be evaluated: e.g.,
consistency, coherence, adaptability, completeness, ...
- the aspects or levels of the ontology that can be evaluated: lexical,
syntactical, semantic, and the context of the ontology (e.g., relationship to
other ontologies, use a community) (03)
Best
