Abstract
With the increasing application fields of domain ontology models, how to develop the ontology model for a specific domain has become an urgent problem to solve. This paper presents and summaries three comparatively mature ontology engineering methodologies proposed respectively by Uschold & King, Grüninger & Fox and Methontology against the standard of IEEE1074-1995. Then the paper analyses the shortcomings of the three methodologies in the processes of meta-data model development and makes the proposition that the converse development method for domain ontology model is a beneficial supplement for traditional positive development method.
