本体是语义网的支柱，语义网是万维网的语义感知版本。大规模高质量领域本体的可用性取决于旨在支持本体构建关键过程的有效且可用的方法。本体构建表现出与软件制品的生产相当的结构和逻辑复杂性。本文提出了一种本体构建方法，该方法利用了从软件工程中广泛使用的标准中汲取的大量经验：统一软件开发过程或统一过程（UP）。特别是，我们提出了 UP for ONtology (UPON) 构建，这是一种源自 UP 的本体构建方法。 UPON 的介绍是在电子商务领域的一个实际示例的支持下进行的。还讨论了与其他方法的比较评估及其在雅典娜欧盟综合项目背景下采用的结果。 (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
Ontologies are the backbone of the Semantic Web, a semantic-aware version of the World Wide Web. The availability of large-scale high quality domain ontologies depends on effective and usable methodologies aimed at supporting the crucial process of ontology building. Ontology building exhibits a structural and logical complexity that is comparable to the production of software artefacts. This paper proposes an ontology building methodology that capitalizes the large experience drawn from a widely used standard in software engineering: the Unified Software Development Process or Unified Process (UP). In particular, we propose UP for ONtology (UPON) building, a methodology for ontology building derived from the UP. UPON is presented with the support of a practical example in the eBusiness domain. A comparative evaluation with other methodologies and the results of its adoption in the context of the Athena EU Integrated Project are also discussed. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
