WonderTools? A comparative study of ontological engineering tools
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ontologies are becoming increasingly important in a variety of different fields, such as intelligent searching on the web, knowledge sharing and reuse, knowledge management, etc. Therefore, we expect that the need for tools to support the construction of ontologies will increase significantly in the coming years. In this paper we investigate several of these tools. We evaluate the tools using two different ontologies: a simple one about university employees, and a second, more complex one, about the structure of a university-study. The evaluation was conducted using a framework, which incorporates aspects of ontology building and testing, as well as cooperation with other users. Our conclusions are that the usefulness of the tools depends on the level of the users and the stage of development of the ontology. “Sadly true, but then it's probably still easier to use than PhotoshopTM.... We're not generally expecting plumbers and janitors to build ontologies.” [Comment of James Rice, principle implementor of Ontolingua].

متن کاملThe MATHESIS meta-knowledge engineering framework: Ontology-driven development of intelligent tutoring systems
The effect of the knowledge acquisition bottleneck is still limiting the widespread use of knowledge-based systems (KBS), especially in the area of model-tracing tutors, as they demand the development of deep domain expertise, tutoring and student models. The MATHESIS meta-knowledge engineering framework for model-tracing tutors, presented in this article, aims at maximizing knowledge reuse. Th...
متن کاملEffect of Tool Shoulder and Pin Cone Angles in Friction Stir Welding using Non-circular Tool Pin
In friction stir welding frictional heat is generated by the rotating tool, sliding over the stationary plate along the weld centre. Tool being the only source of heat producing member, its geometrical design influences the heat generation rate. In this present work, effects of variation in tool shoulder and tool pin taper angles on thermal history during joining are analysed. Tools with triang...
