摘要: Browsing ontologies and making sense of their concepts relationships are important activities in knowledge engineering. They supported by a large number tools that often provide visual representations the for better illustration. However, different notations used to represent which can be confusing when switching tools. Furthermore, many only basic overviews not sufficient get deeper understanding relationships. A unified notation OWL would most helpful overcome these limitations. Having this goal mind, we compare two paper: UML profile Ontology Definition Metamodel (ODM) Visual Notation Ontologies (VOWL). We report on comparative user study discuss benefits limitations raised participants. Based findings, draw some general conclusions regarding development ontologies.
