myOntology: The Marriage of Ontology Engineering and Collective Intelligence
Bridging the Gep between Semantic Web and Web 2.0 (SemNet 2007)
, page 127-138. (2007)
Despite very active research on ontologies, only few useful
ontologies can be found on the Web. The reasons for this are manifold, but a
major obstacle is that ontology engineering environments impose high entrance
barriers on users, and that the community does not have control over the
ontology evolution. Wikis are a way to allow a wide range of users to
contribute to Web representations without requiring more than basic Web
editing skills. In the myOntology project, we propose the use of wiki
technology in order to enable collaborative and community-driven ontology
building by giving users with no or little expertise in ontology engineering the
opportunity to contribute. In this paper, we describe the myOntology project in
which the challenges of collaborative, community-driven, and wiki-based
ontology engineering are investigated. Our approach combines the simplicity of
wikis with intuitive visualization techniques and small yet efficient helper
functionality plus consensus finding support exploiting the collective
intelligence of a community.
