Modeling information resources and application using ontological engineering

Abstract

This paper deals with ontology elements modeling in design and evaluation procedure. An ontology lifecycle development based on the methodology and activities within competency questions evolution is presented. The specification of concepts and basic relationships (taxonomy of the lightweight ontology) is the foundation for modeling of formal ontology elements such as rules, constraints and axioms. Complex queries arising from competency questions will also be considered. The technique like matrix diagram provides a systematic overview of correlation between ontology elements. We investigated the correlation between static elements like concepts and dynamic elements like queries. The described method is applied on a case of education domain modeling.
