Ontology Building in Knowledge Engineering — A Case Study in Sports Games

摘要

This paper proposed some general principles and methods in building ontology. The discussions on knowledge classification provided by philosophy, library science, I&D and lexicography are all helpful in building ontology. Discipline-indexing produces a great deal of overlapping, so subject-indexing approach is adopted on the basis of ontological relationship. Both "Top-down" and "Bottom-up" approaches will be adopted in the building domain ontology. It took Sports & Games as a case study.
