Abstract

Current ontology methodologies offer guidance towards knowledge acquisition, ontology development (design and conceptualization), formalization, evaluation, evolution and maintenance. Nevertheless, these methodologies describe most of expert involvements within ontology validation rather vaguely. The use of tailored usability methods for ontology evaluation could offer the establishment of certain quality measurements and aid the evaluation of modelling decisions, prior ontology implementation. This paper describes the experimental evaluation of a legal ontology, the Ontology of Professional Judicial Knowledge (OPJK), with the SUS questionnaire, a usability evaluation questionnaire tailored to ontology evaluation.
