“…The practitioners of the field of ontologies support the notion of merging different methodologies and techniques together. This opens door for new and different design ideas (Brusa et al, 2008). With this motivation this paper proposes an approach for developing ontologies using concept maps coupled with a term extraction process.…”

“…First, the motivation scenarios are needed to be defined. They are artefacts which describe the expectations which the resulting ontology should fulfil (Brusa et al, 2008;Gruninger and Fox, 1995). They help to visualise the entities and relations at an early stage which eases the further steps in ontology development.…”

A number of ontology engineering methodologies have been proposed to date. Distinct methodologies rely on different techniques and activities for developing ontologies. The concept mapping technique has been recently used for developing ontologies related to different domains. However, the existing approaches using concept mapping do not make use of any automatic term extraction process to ease the overall ontology development process and their evaluation procedures are not robust to specifically meet the need for ontology designs emerging from concept maps. This paper proposes a new approach which uses the concept mapping technique coupled with a term extraction engine. The engine automatically extracts the candidate terms from the competency questions which reduces ontology development time and efforts. Furthermore, considering the importance of evaluation, a robust evaluation procedure is proposed which validates the ontologies at both the formal level and the graphical level.

“…It is often useful to use a template as a representational artefact to share the motivation scenarios. Use case templates in object-oriented methodology are useful for this purpose since it shows meaningful information in the most concise way [2]. Table 1 shows a sample of use case representing the motivation scenario developed for this ontology and it describes a user can input formal query in the query tab, provided in the Protege IDE.…”

An Ontological Approach towards Dialoguebased Information Visualization System: Quran Corpus for Juz' Amma

Abstract. This paper presents a corpus that offers rich and authentic knowledge for Juz' Amma using the ontological engineering approach. The reason of the study conducted is because of lack of understanding of Juz' Amma in the form of listing result. At the same time, the listing result does not provide pictorial tidings for clustering the listing result. Therefore, the corpus covers knowledge from various authentic sources, including translation, annotation of keywords, tafsir, and related hadiths for every verse in English and Malay. The ontology is engineered and designed to effectively utilize the authentic knowledge extracted from the corpus intended to serve a dialogue-based information visualization system for Quranic text. A standard ontology engineering methodology was applied for developing the ontology. After creation, the ontology was evaluated and was found to fulfill the goals for which it was developed. The corpus and ontology are hoped to aid various semantic applications related to Quranic text in the future.

“…Each phase is composed of activities and subactivities. In the first phase, the ontology design and development are achieved ensuring best practices in literature (Ontology Summit 2007;Brusa, Laura Caliusco, and Chiotti 2008), and are considered in engaging domain experts and end users. In the second phase, ontology validation is accomplished.…”

This paper presents a framework for developing engineering design ontologies within the aerospace industry. The aim of this approach is to strengthen the modularity and reuse of engineering design ontologies to support knowledge management initiatives within the aerospace industry. Successful development and effective utilisation of engineering ontologies strongly depends on the method/framework used to develop them. Ensuring modularity in ontology design is essential for engineering design activities due to the complexity of knowledge that is required to be brought together to support the product design decision-making process. The proposed approach adopts best practices from previous ontology development methods, but focuses on encouraging modular architectural ontology design. The framework is comprised of three phases namely: (1) Ontology design and development; (2) Ontology validation and (3) Implementation of ontology structure. A qualitative research methodology is employed which is composed of four phases. The first phase defines the capture of knowledge required for the framework development, followed by the ontology framework development, iterative refinement of engineering ontologies and ontology validation through case studies and experts' opinion. The ontology-based framework is applied in the combustor and casing aerospace engineering domain. The modular ontologies developed as a result of applying the framework and are used in a case study to restructure and improve the accessibility of information on a product design information-sharing platform. Additionally, domain experts within the aerospace industry validated the strengths, benefits and limitations of the framework. Due to the modular nature of the developed ontologies, they were also employed to support other project initiatives within the case study company such as rolebased computing (RBC), IT modernisation activity and knowledge management implementation across the sponsoring organisation. The major benefit of this approach is in the reduction of man-hours required for maintaining engineering design ontologies. Furthermore, this approach strengthens reuse of ontology knowledge and encourages modularity in the design and development of engineering ontologies.
