Abstract
Building an ontology is not only a time-consuming process, but it is also confusing, especially for beginners and the inexperienced. Although ontology developers can take the help of domain experts in building an ontology, they are not readily available in several cases for a variety of reasons. Ontology developers have to grapple with several questions related to the choice of classes, properties, and the axioms that should be included. Apart from this, there are aspects such as modularity and reusability that should be taken care of. From among the thousands of publicly available ontologies and vocabularies in repositories such as Linked Open Vocabularies (LOV) and BioPortal, it is hard to know the terms (classes and properties) that can be reused in the development of an ontology. A similar problem exists in implementing the right set of ontology design patterns (ODPs) from among the…
