Abstract

Currently, there is a considerable body of experience in building ontologies. Nevertheless, knowledge acquisition using ontologies is still a research issue. The goal of this paper is to take a further step towards a systematic approach for building ontologies. An approach for engineering ontologies is presented with a case study. This approach incorporates the best features of the existing methods and proposes other features, such as the use of a graphical language for expressing ontologies, an axiom classification and some guidelines for ontology capture, formalization, evaluation and documentation. An ontology development process model is also discussed, showing how to proceed in the development of ontologies.
