Description
Summary:Since the emergence of ontologies in the field of computer science a number of approaches for developing ontologies have been proposed. Different approaches focus on distinct aspects of the ontology development process and make use of various techniques for developing ontologies. It is an accepted fact that the ontology development process relies on human feedback and decisions during various phases of ontology development. However, most of the existing approaches neglect this aspect of ontology development. In order to bridge this gap, this paper proposes an ontology development approach using the concept mapping technique, which is human centered in nature. This approach eases the overall ontology development process. It allows developing ontologies which involve human feedback during the evolution of the ontology design.
