本体的覆盖范围越来越大，以至于没有一个人或一小群人可以有效地开发它们，本体开发成为一个基于社区的企业。在本文中，我们讨论了支持协作本体开发的要求，并提出了协作Protégé-一个工具，支持许多这些要求，如与本体编辑过程，聊天，和注释的变化和本体组件集成的讨论。我们已经评估了协作Protégé在本体论发展的背景下，正在进行的大规模生物医学项目，积极使用本体论在VA帕洛阿尔托医疗保健系统。用户发现，新工具作为一个环境进行讨论和记录参考资料的信息来源和设计原理是有效的。
Ontologies are becoming so large in their coverage that no single person or a small group of people can develop them effectively and ontology development becomes a community-based enterprise. In this paper, we discuss requirements for supporting collaborative ontology development and present Collaborative Protégé—a tool that supports many of these requirements, such as discussions integrated with ontology-editing process, chats, and annotations of changes and ontology components. We have evaluated Collaborative Protégé in the context of ontology development in an ongoing large-scale biomedical project that actively uses ontologies at the VA Palo Alto Healthcare System. Users have found the new tool effective as an environment for carrying out discussions and for recording references for the information sources and design rationale.
