The fast emergent and continuously evolving areas of the Semantic Web and Knowledge
Management make the incorporation of ontology engineering tasks in knowledge-empowered
organizations and in the World Wide Web more than necessary. In such environments, the
development and evolution of ontologies must be seen as a dynamic process that has to be
supported through the entire ontology life-cycle, resulting to living ontologies. The aim of this
paper is to present the Human-Centered Ontology Engineering Methodology (HCOME) for the
development and evaluation of living ontologies in the context of communities of knowledge
workers. The methodology aims to empower knowledge workers to continuously manage their
formal conceptualizations in their day-to-day activities and shape their information space by
being actively involved in the ontology life-cycle. The paper also demonstrates the Human
Centered ONtology Engineering Environment, HCONE, which can effectively support this
methodology.
