FOEval: Full ontology evaluation

摘要

In this research, a new evaluation model to choose adequate ontology that fit user requirements is proposed. The proposed model presents two main features distinct from previous research models: First, it enables users to select from a set of proposed metrics, those who they help in the ontology evaluation process; and to assign weights to each one based on assumed impacts on this process. Second, it enables users to evaluate locally stored ontologies, and/or request search engines for available ontologies. The main goal of this model is to ease the ontology evaluation task, for users wishing to reuse available ontologies, enabling them to choose the more adequate ontology to their requirements.
