EVALUATION AND VALIDATION OF ONTOLOGY USING PROTEGE TOOL

Ontology is one of the most important constituent in semantic web layered architecture. Without ontology, it is impossible to maintain relationships among real world entities. Various operations can be performed on ontology like merging, mapping, evaluation and validation of ontologies. The paper classifies ontologies at various levels like lexical level, hierarchical level, syntactic level and design level. Besides this, a comparative study is also provided on different methods for evaluation and validation of ontologies like Prompt, OntoMetric, OntoClean and many more.
