Abstract
The majority of biodiversity data available on the Web are structured, lacking unstructured features such as tacit knowledge, images, audios, text documents, among others. Tacit knowledge can be used to add more expressiveness to ontologies. To achieve that, the knowledge needs to be elicited and formalized and further incorporated into an ontology. This paper aims to present a Progressive Formalization Schema (PFS) to formalize tacit knowledge into different levels of granularity.

Notes
- 1.
An expert can be understood as an individual who has valuable knowledge that can be used by someone or an organization (Kendal and Creen 2016).
- 2.
According to Carey and Spelke (1994), “It represents a person’s thought process for how something works (i.e. the understanding of the world around). Based on incomplete facts, past experiences and even intuitive perceptions. They help to define actions and behaviors, influence what will be considered most relevant in complex situations and define how individuals confront and solve problems.”
