Sandra Lovrenčić, Mirko Čubrilo · 2008
As ontologies became widely used methodology for knowledge representation, as well as foundation for Semantic Web, a question of their evaluation increased even more. Various methods and techniques for ontology evaluation have been already proposed, some concerned with their taxonomy and others with their content. In this paper several ontology evaluation methods are used together with purpose of showing how both important parts of evaluation, verification and validation, can be comprised. The usage of multiple independent evaluation methods ensures development of a consistent and usable ontology.
