A validation & verification driven ontology: An iterative process

Designing an ontology that meets the needs of end-users, e.g., a medical team, is critical to support reasoning with data. Therefore, design should be driven by constant and efficient validation end-users needs. However, there not existing standard process in knowledge engineering guides required quality. There are several processes, which range from iterative sequential, but they fail ensure practical application quantitatively validate end-user requirements through evolution ontology. In this paper, proposed, requirements, defined as Competency Questions (CQs). The called CQ-Driven Ontology DEsign Process (CODEP) it includes activities verify incremental metrics based on CQs. CODEP has also been applied development context Mexican Hospital for supporting Neurologist specialists. specialists were involved, during CODEP, collecting quality measurements validating increments. This can demonstrate feasibility deliver ontologies similar other contexts.
