Ontology Building: An Integrative View of Methodologies

Abstract

Ontologies are being developed and used in many disciplines now a day and they have become a key tool of data integration and knowledge representation in different domains of interest. The ontology building process identifies the stages through which the ontology should go through during its development. There is a certain set of activities to be performed in each stage of the ontology development process and different methodologies have been proposed by researchers for formalizing the different stages. The present paper investigates the most representative methodologies used in the ontology development to look at the different activities that are performed during the process of ontology development. The paper further attempts to provide an integrative view of the most representative methodologies used in the ontology development to look at the set of different activities that can be performed during the process of the ontology development.
