Ontoboldt - Ontology Engineering Knowledge Graph

Ontoboldt is a Knowledge Graph containing descriptions of Ontology Engineering processes, activities and tasks.

Ontoboldt

Despite extensive research, the practical use of Ontology Engineering is still hampered because information regarding Ontology Engineering activities and life cycle models is scattered in literature or is hard-wired in legacy tools.

Therefore, we analyzed existing literature to create the Ontoboldt Knowledge Graph containing descriptions of existing Ontology Engineering processes, activities and tasks to offer a one-stop shop for Ontology Engineering-related tasks.

Ontoboldt contains descriptions for 9 Ontology Engineering processes, 83 activities and 58 tasks. Furthermore, we linked 40 related publications, and 17 related resources to our Knowledge Graph to indicate provenance and to provide further explanations.

The following sources were used to populate Ontoboldt

Project deliverables from the NeOn project contributed 9 processes, 75 activities, and 58 tasks
The UPON methodology contributed 5 activities and 15 tasks
The SAMOD methodology contributed 3 activities and 15 tasks

How to use it?

The following SPARQL query returns all processes, activities or tasks which produce something and what it produces.

The Ontoboldt Knowledge Graph aims to be a catalogue of Ontology Engineering Processes. The name Ontoboldt refers to Alexander von Humboldt, a German scientist who among other things, catalogued thousands of botanical samples.
