| Popis: | Ontology verification refers to the activity where an ontology is tested against its ontology requirements to ensure that it is built correctly in compliance with its ontology requirements specification. Therefore, it is an important activity that should be performed in any ontology development process. Since manual verification can be a time-consuming and repetitive task, testing processes to automatically verify an ontology facilitate this activity. Moreover, the involvement of not only ontology engineers during the ontology verification process , but also domain experts and users, can provide valuable feedback to avoid misunderstandings and lack of information. This paper proposes a method for ontology verification that defines the testing activities to be performed. The method uses a testing language based on lexico-syntactic patterns to facilitate the definition of tests and an ontology to store and publish such tests. Moreover, this verification testing method proposes an online tool to execute tests on one or more ontologies. The method was compared in terms of time and errors by user evaluation with other tools for ontology verification; the evaluation showed that the tools that use testing languages had better results in terms of reducing errors in the verification activity compared to the tools that do not. |
