Amandeep Verma · 2016
Ontologies are agreement of the conceptualisation of concepts in a context that can be shared or reused and thus in consequence it aids in interoperability. The evaluation of ontology aims either for assessment of the ontology or is to grade the accessible ontologies with intent to decide on the appropriate among available alternatives for reuse purposes. The literature has immense contents related to this area, but diversified. Furthermore, an abstract framework for ontology evaluation was also not found in review. Accordingly, the present study was intended to devise such framework. The presented framework in this study was an outcome of comprehensive analysis of the approaches, perspectives or dimensions, metrics and other related aspects of ontology evaluation. The contribution of this work is to exhibit the said area in a concise manner, and a general ontology evaluation paradigm.
