Abstract

This paper intends to share the development experience of the application ontology of the SaaS version of the decision statistical mapping and geomarketing software Cartes and Données (C and D). The ontology describing the C and D application domain was conceived for automation of semantic annotation of CD7Online’s users data to help users better understand their data and make better selection and representation choices. We followed the application ontology development methodology of Noy and McGuinness, which we expanded with the mapping to an upper ontology and an additional ontology evaluation step according to user specific needs.
