Title
Issues with evaluating and using publicly available ontologies
Abstract
The proliferation of ontologies in the public domain and the ease of accessing them ofiers new opportunities for knowl- edge sharing and interoperability in an open, distributed en- vironment, but it also poses interesting challenges for knowl- edge and Web engineers alike. In this paper we discuss and analyse those challenges with emphasis on the need to eval- uate publicly available ontologies prior to use. We elaborate on a number of issues ranging from technological concerns to strategic and political issues. We drawn our experiences from the fleld of ontology mapping on the Semantic Web, a necessity that enables many of Semantic Web's proclaimed features.
