Survey on Ontology Methodologies

Dr. Sunitha Abburu, G. Suresh Babu

Abstract


Ontology plays a vital role in semantic web, knowledge engineering and information retrieval. The paper presents a comprehensive survey on ontology engineering methodologies. Ontology methodology is a set of procedures and guidelines derived from ontology development experiences. Some of the popular ontology methodologies are Sensus, Kactus, Uschold and King, Gruninger and Fox, Ontology development 101, Methontology, On-To-Knowledge, UPON, HCOME, DILIGENT, NeOn. This survey article describes the ontology engineering methodologies and it presents comparison summary of the ontology methodologies with respect to their features.

Keywords


Ontology, Ontology Development Process, Ontology Methodologies, Comparison of Ontology Methodologies
