Abstract

Ontology is a core component in semantic Web applications. The employment of an ontology building method affects the quality of ontology and the applicability of ontology language. An evaluation approach for ontology building guidelines is presented. The evaluation is based on semiotic quality framework, an evaluation scheme frequently applied for evaluating the quality of conceptual models. The framework is extended with situational and computational capabilities. A sample of ontology building method guidelines is analyzed in general and evaluated comparatively in a case study at an oil company in particular. Directions for further refinement of ontology building methods are discussed.
