Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

© 2019 CEUR-WS. All rights reserved. Ontologies can be edited with tools such as Protégé, or with various other forms of source code. The editing process involves insertion, deletion, or fixing errors. In this paper we propose an editing process using Microsoft Word, where users can manipulate any text, adding comments and use all the facilities provided by a familiar word-processing environment. This new technique for visualising and editing ontologies has been tested and evaluated; the results are promising as modifying an ontology in Word is preferred by users to Protégé for some ontology editing tasks. We suggest, therefore, that alternative text based representations and office tools may be useful in the ontology engineering lifecycle.
