Abstract

Ontologies are used to represent human knowledge in a machine-understandable format. Knowledge exists in all domains and the proper capture and utilization of the knowledge is very important. Many ontology engineering methodologies are available for the development of ontologies. However, they suffer from their heavy weight nature and make the development process tedious. In addition, the resulting ontologies are monolithic ontologies and are not easy to reuse. Therefore, an agile and modular method is proposed to develop ontologies. The ease of use of the method is tested by a group of 68 inexperienced ontology engineers who compare it with Ontology 101 by developing ontologies in the e-Government domain using both methods.
