'Just enough' ontology engineering

Abstract

This paper introduces 'just enough' principles and 'systems engineering'approach to the practice of ontology development to provide a minimal yet complete, lightweight, agile and integrated development process, supportive of stakeholder management and implementation independence.

Software Process Improvement and Capability Determination

“…Many of the papers that were found refer to learning in university programs, and according to its content and relevance, some of them have been considered in the filtering. [42], [43], [44], [45], [46], [47], [48], [49], [50] Health and life sciences, The first group of papers is focused on traditional software processes, as software life cycles or iterative models. The learning in these models is achieved through constructivist techniques, problem based learning, games and simulations, and Elearning.…”

A Conceptual Model of the Research Methodology Domain - With a Focus on Computing Fields of Study

“…It has been argued that there is no single, correct ontology engineering methodology, as well as there not being only one correct way to model a domain (Brusa et al, 2006;Di Maio, 2011;Nagypál, 2007;Noy and McGuinness, 2001). Various approaches have been proposed and used (Corcho et al, 2003;De Leenheer and Christiaens, 2007;Di Maio, 2011;Keet et al, 2013;Nagypál, 2007;Noy and McGuinness, 2001).…”

“…Yet such a methodology, or ontological engineering process, is useful, if not crucial, as it facilitates a pragmatic and systematic path through the complex processes and tasks of building an ontology (Devedzic, 2002;Di Maio, 2011;Nagypál, 2007). The ontology engineering process used in this research is based on the work of • Nagypál -METHONTOLOGY, which has been suggested to be the most mature of the various approaches (Corcho et al, 2003;Nagypál, 2007),…”

Towards a Metamodel to Support the Joint Optimization of Socio Technical Systems

“…As an example showing how JOM can be used to support the joint optimization in ontology development, this paragraph provides an outline of Just Enough Ontology (JEO) [61] an agile approach to ontology development, where bot the ontology and the development process are considered from a socio technical viewpoint. The majority of information systems today are designed to leverage knowledge expressed via natural language, where symbols and meanings (semiotics and semantics) need to be captured and represented adequately for these systems to function.…”

“…(IEEE 1471). The rationale process and outcomes of JEO are presented in detail in corresponding publications [62][63][64]. Below an outline of the core JEO process, modeled on JOM.…”
