Abstract

Evaluation and consequent revision of ontologies is a critical task in the process of ontology engineering. We argue the necessity and merits of reviewing implicitly entailed knowledge as part of a methodical evaluation. We study this process by means of a prototypical implementation for OWL DL ontologies, called ontology questionnaire, and discuss support for dealing with unwanted inferences based on experiences with applying this questionnaire in some real-world modelling scenarios.
