Community-driven ontology management: DERI case study

Abstract

We introduce the concept of community-driven ontology management and demonstrate the added value to conventional ontology management of being community-driven. Further, we present an implementation of an infrastructure supporting community-driven ontology management. The implemented infrastructure was deployed as a part of the intranet at DERI - Digital Enterprise Research Institute, and the community's response and behavior were observed. The results obtained prove feasibility and advantages of community-driven ontology management.
