[edit] Comments on the process of building an ontology (from 25 July 2009)

How to build an ontology (Christine)

  1. List
  2. Taxonomy
  3. Relations (and their properties)
  4. Test questions to answer
  5. Refine

How to build an ontology (Paul)

  1. Data first – actual instances
  2. Kinds of things, then formulate as classes
  3. Class hierarchy may fall out


[edit] Files, as promised, from Christine

You can download many of the process mind maps from MindJet directly, which I recommend as they are copyrighted and it will make it easier for you to use them! See the template gallery [1] for things such as the Five Whys, Fishbone Analysis, Balanced Scorecard and more.

The Ontology Development process [2] is something I put together, but I apparently did a poor job at documenting my sources. I am sure that Ontology 101 [3] was a very strong influence. This was before Semantic Web for the Working Ontologist came out, so I suggest you read that! It's not complete; I'll keep poking at it. :)
