Weighted Evaluation of Ontology Building Methods

Ontologies are the core component in semantic Web applications. The employment of an ontology building method affects the quality of ontology and the applicability of ontology language. A weighted evaluation approach for ontology building guidelines is presented in this paper. The evaluation criteria are based on an existing classification scheme of a semiotic framework for evaluating the quality of conceptual models. Directions for further refinement of ontology building methods are discussed.
