Abstract

Ontology evaluation is required before using the ontology within applications. Similar with software practice, the purpose of ontology evaluation is to identify the achievement of requirement criteria.  Users who require coverage criteria often seeking ontology that contain the terms related to their focused domain knowledge. Users encounter the difficulty to select a suitable ontology from variety of ontology evaluation approaches. Conceptualization of information related to ontology evaluation helps to identify the important component within ontology that helps towards coverage criteria achievement. This work proposes an algorithm to extract ontology documents gained from public ontology repositories like Falcons into its vocabulary parts focused on classes and literals. The algorithm then processes the extracted ontology components with similarity algorithm and later displays the result on the coverage match of ontology with provided terms and the terms that are synonym expanded using WordNet.
