Abstract

Ontology is used widely as an analytical tool in many domains in recent years, and adopted as a fundamental basis for knowledge acquisition and sharing. However, it becomes difficult for knowledge engineers to share a large ontology base created by many engineers from different domains, and thus ontologies may not genuinely support knowledge engineers in knowledge acquisition and analysis. In order to promote multi-domain ontology sharing and to facilitate knowledge acquisition and analysis, we have implemented an ontology and knowledge engineering environment (OKEE) for multi-domain ontology development and knowledge acquisition. OKEE provides a list of functionalities for ontology design and for knowledge acquisition.
