Abstract

As the requirement of Semantic Web and knowledge management has been rising, ontology developments have been carried out actively. Ontology is now at the point that systematic developing standardization should be made up like the developing a large scale software. Yet, It has not been made to optimize and standardize ontology development methodologies. In this study, to compare ontology development methodologies, METHONTOLOGY, CommonKADS, OTK in foreign countries and EOE in Korea are selected. The evaluating method is to introduce CMM-I version 1.1 framework. Ontology development methodologies have been evaluated in process areas that introduce for CMM-I maturity level 2 and 3. The purpose of this study is to find matured process and weak process in ontology development methodology on the view of process maturity, and suggests the areas to be Improved in it. The result of this study can be applied as basic data to establish and improve ontology development methodology.

시맨틱 웹(semantic web), 지식 경영 요구가 증대되면서 온톨로지 개발이 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 온톨로지 역시 대규모 소프트웨어를 개발하는 것과 동일하게 체계적인 개발 표준이 필요한 시점에 있다. 그러나 아직 온톨로지 개발 방법론의 체계화 및 표준화는 이루어지고 있지 않은 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 온톨로지 개발 방법론의 비교를 위해 외국의 대표적인 온톨로지 개발 방법론(METHONTOLOGY, CommonKADS, OTK)과 국내 온톨로지 개발 방법론(EOE)을 선정했다. 평가 방법은 CMM-I 버전 1.1 프레임워크를 도입하여 CMM-I 성숙 단계 2와 3에 해당하는 프로세스 영역별로 온톨로지 개발 방법론을 평가했다. 본 연구의 목적은 프로세스 성숙도(CMM-I) 관점으로 평가 대상의 온톨로지 개발 방법론에 대해 성숙된 프로세스 영역과 취약한 프로세스 영역을 파악하고 온톨로지 개발 방법론의 개선 영역을 제시하는 것이다. 본 연구의 결과는 온톨로지 개발 방법론의 수립 또는 개선의 기초 자료로 활용할 수 있다.
