Title
Evaluating Ontologies with Competency Questions
Abstract
Competency Questions(CQs) play an important role in the ontology development lifecycle, as they represent the ontology requirements. Although the main methodologies describe and use CQs, the current practice of ontology engineering makes a superficial use of CQs. One of the main problems that hamper their proper use lies on the lack of tools that assist users to check if CQs are being fulfilled by the ontology being defined, particularly when these ontologies are defined in OWL (Ontology Web Language), under the Description Logic formalism. We propose a mechanism to support evaluating whether the ontology follows their correspondent CQs.
