A Method to Develop Description Logic Ontologies Iteratively Based on Competency Questions: an Implementation.
Yuri Malheiros, Fred Freitas · 2013
Abstract. Many methodologies and tools are proposed to improve and make easy the process of develop ontologies. We are proposing a system to develop ontologies iteratively using competency questions. The system works as follows: a user asks a question to the system, and it tries to answer the question with the knowledge encoded in an ontology. If it cannot answer correctly, the system generates new questions to ask the user for more axioms. Then, the process restarts, until the system can answer all the generated questions, including the first one. Thus, we are creating a way to define requirements, evaluate, and to add new axioms to an ontology using natural language. 1.
