“…In 1997, a new method was proposed for building ontologies based on the SENSUS ontology [66]. Some years later, the On-To-Knowledge methodology appeared as a result of the project with the same name [62]. However, all these methods and methodologies do not consider collaborative and distributed construction of ontologies.…”

“…The On-To-Knowledge methodology [62] includes the identification of goals that should be achieved by knowledge management tools and is based on an analysis of usage scenarios. The steps proposed by the methodology are: kick-off, where ontology requirements are captured and specified, competency questions are identified, potentially reusable ontologies are studied and a first draft version of the ontology is built; refinement, where a mature and application-oriented ontology is produced; evaluation, where the requirements and competency questions are checked, and the ontology is tested in the application environment; and ontology maintenance.…”

In this paper we review and compare the main methodologies, tools and languages for building ontologies that have been reported in the literature, as well as the main relationships among them. Ontology technology is nowadays mature enough: many methodologies, tools and languages are already available. The future work in this field should be driven towards the creation of a common integrated workbench for ontology developers to facilitate ontology development, exchange, evaluation, evolution and management, to provide methodological support for these tasks, and translations to and from different ontology languages. This workbench should not be created from scratch, but instead integrating the technology components that are currently available.

IT support for knowledge workers in their daily work can take many different guises: groupware systems and information retrieval tools help to exploit and develop function knowledge (how to perform a given activity, or function), while workflow management systems address the process knowledge (which activities to perform in which temporal-logical order, normally modelled in a rigid manner for clearly structured processes). However, what is missing so far in business-process oriented knowledge management, is an environment that (i)integrates the business process and knowledge management aspects of weakly structured knowledge work, and (ii) actively supports the worker in using and adding knowledge resources. This paper presents an approach to support knowledge-intensive business processes. As an example we sketch a case study from the Greek public sector.

“…In this regard, we can mention that METHONTOLOGY [5] identifies the goals of the ontology requirements specification activity; however, this methodology does not propose any method for carrying out the activity. Grüninger and Fox's methodology [8], On-To-Knowledge methodology [14], and the Unified methodology [17] propose the identification of the following aspects for creating the ontology requirements specification document (ORSD): (1) the purpose of the ontology to be developed, (2) the intended uses and users of the ontology to be developed, and (3) the set of ontology requirements that the ontology should satisfy after being formally implemented. Most of the existing methodologies suggest the identification of competency questions (CQs) [8] as the technique for establishing the ontology requirements.…”

Abstract. The goal of the ontology requirements specification activity is to state why the ontology is being built, what its intended uses are, who the endusers are, and which requirements the ontology should fulfill. The novelty of this paper lies in the systematization of the ontology requirements specification activity since the paper proposes detailed methodological guidelines for specifying ontology requirements efficiently. These guidelines will help ontology engineers to capture ontology requirements and produce the ontology requirements specification document (ORSD). The ORSD will play a key role during the ontology development process because it facilitates, among other activities, (1) the search and reuse of existing knowledge-aware resources with the aim of re-engineering them into ontologies, (2) the search and reuse of existing ontological resources (ontologies, ontology modules, ontology statements as well as ontology design patterns), and (3) the verification of the ontology along the ontology development. In parallel to the guidelines, we present the ORSD that resulted from the ontology requirements specification activity within the SEEMP project, and how this document facilitated not only the reuse of existing knowledge-aware resources but also the verification of the SEEMP ontologies. Moreover, we present some use cases in which the methodological guidelines proposed here were applied.
