Abstract
This study presents two implementations of an application ontology for the problem domain of selection of remediation technologies for petroleum contaminated sites. The objective of this work is to study design of ontology modeling systems by comparing two implementations of the same application ontology, one on Protégé and another on a prototype Ontology Modeler developed in-house at Energy Informatics Laboratory of University of Regina, Canada. The two tools both aim to document and represent static knowledge of an application domain. The knowledge acquisition and ontology construction phases are discussed and a comparison of the two implementations is also presented.
