Identifying ontology authoring strategies and patterns UKON 2014
Goals
• Find authoring patterns
• Identify the challenges of the authoring
process
• Inform authoring tools
• Support for whatif questions
Exploratory study
• Interview with 15 ontology authors
• Strategies inform a set of design
recommendations
- Sensemaking, exploration, searching
- Building
- Debugging and evaluationMore info:M. Vigo, C. Jay, R. Stevens (2014) Design insights for the next wave ontology authoring tools. Proceedings of ACM SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors, CHI’ 14

Confirmatory study• Protégé4US: modified Protégé to generate log
data of authoring and interaction events

• 15 users, 3 authoring tasks with Protégé4US
- Correlations bw usability metrics and authoring
events
- Profiling users by their use of Protégé tab
