Scientific and Technical Information Processing volume 37, pages 398–406 (2010)Cite this article

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the evaluation of ontology quality. A classification of the available evaluation of ontologies methods is given and a model for evaluation of ontology readability from the cognitive point of view is described. In addition, we propose a method for automatic evaluation of cognitive ergonomics on the basis of graph analysis.
