Abstract
Since the development of ontologies from scratch requires much time and many resources, the activity of knowledge acquisition constitutes one of the most important steps at the beginning of the ontology development process. This activity is essential in all the different methodologies for ontology design as a previous step to the conceptualization and formalization phases.
