Abstract
...
Industry-wide collaborative ontology development efforts can distribute development costs over organizations, address a wider range of use cases, and have the potential to be of higher quality than many project or application-specific ontologies. Based on our experience with several industry ontologies, we will present several of the most important lessons learned in developing ontologies for industry applications, ranging from establishing critical policies from the outset, to reusing standards-based patterns, to leveraging collaborative tools for integration and test. Participants will select example use cases as the basis for an in-class ontology, reuse example patterns, and test their work using open-source tools for serializing ontologies as well as that tools that check for syntactic and semantic issues that well-known tools such as Protégé miss, providing direct experience with capabilities that are found essential for industry standard ontology development.
