Abstract

In the last years, ontologies are commonly developed in collaborative environments where there are several experts (including users, domain experts and ontology engineers) involved in the development process. When the ontology engineers deliver an ontology the users expect a complete ontology which fulls all the requirements they ask for. However, in most cases the ontology engineers cannot prove this completeness, as they did not carry out any testing process. Adopting testing as an activity in ontology development will lead to an improvement on the quality of ontologies regarding ...
