Quantifying Ontology Fitness in OntoElect Using Saturation- and Vote-Based Metrics

  • Conference paper
Information and Communication Technologies in Education, Research, and Industrial Applications (ICTERI 2013)

Abstract

This paper presents the details of the OntoElect methodology for ontology engineering. These details comprise: (i) the presentation of the objectives with the emphasis on the problems arising when the domain knowledge stakeholder requirements to the developed ontology are elicited; (ii) the elaboration of the ontology engineering workflow and software tools; (iii) the proposal of the formal metrics for the representativeness of the used document corpus based on saturation and the fitness of different ontology elements to those requirements based on the computation of the stakeholder votes. The paper also reports on the set-up and results of our experiment with the document corpus of the ICTERI conference series papers and the ICTERI scope ontology. The available results of this ongoing experiment confirm that the methodological approach of OntoElect is valid.
