Abstract

Ontologies are becoming an essential component in many information technology (IT) applications, and systems development is an important and necessary step in the application of IT, which increasingly involves the Web. This article reviews the literature on the usefulness of ontologies in systems development with the purpose to stimulate discussion among information systems (IS) researchers and practitioners about the potential role of ontologies.
