Methodologies for ontology design. A methodology may be understood as an organized set of procedures and guidelines for, in this case, aiding and guiding the development of an ontology during its life-cycle or some parts of it. An ontology engineering methodology considers, management (e.g., scheduling), development (e.g., conceptualization and formalization), and support activities (e.g., knowledge acquisition and evaluation). These iterative activities conform a methodological life-cycle to support the construction of ontologies, from their specification to their implementation and maintenance. Current ontology methodologies are mostly adapted from existing software and knowledge system engineering methodologies, and offer guidance towards knowledge acquisition, ontology development (design and conceptualization), formalization, evaluation, evolution and maintenance. For an extensive research on ontology methodologies see Casellas(2011).
