Abstract

With an incessant development of the information technology, ontology has been widely applied to various fields for knowledge representation. Therefore, ontology construction and ontology extension has become a great area of research. Creating ontology should not be confined to the thinking process of few ontology engineers. To develop common ontologies for information sharing, they should satisfy the requirements of different people for a particular domain. Also, ontology engineering should be a collaborative process for faster development. As Social Web is growing, its simplicity proves to be successful in attracting mass participation. This paper aims in developing a platform “EasyOnto” which provide simple and easy graphical user interface for users to collaboratively contribute in developing semiformal ontology.
