Ontologies and Ontology Engineering
Objectives ad Scope
Ontologies are key enablers of semantic technologies. Engineering ontologies at industrial strength requires on the one hand robust methods for the efficient and effective generation of ontological content, and for the evaluation of the produced artefacts. On the other hand, real-world ontology-driven systems can be feasibly developed only if the business implications of semantic technologies are taken into account. With this respect more research remains to be carried on in the field of ontology evaluation, cost estimation, planning and controlling, and quality assurance.
Context
Semantic technologies are leaving the prototype status and are maturing into core components of business software. Ontology engineering methods, however, still haven’t reached a sufficient level of maturity. STI2 will emphasize the importance of ontologies as part of business value chains for suppliers and customers of semantic technologies. The key challenge for this activity is to bring ontology engineering to the next level of maturity which is essential for the adoption of ontologies in business contexts.
Approach
According to the strategy adopted for the roadmapping service, the goal of the activity is to identify the final list of challenges and to derive a timeline for development.
Outcome
The outcome will be a roadmap for ontology engineering.
