论文摘要
本体开发方法强调了从领域专家和文献资源中收集知识，并使用诸如OWL或FOL等本体论语言的知识表示。但是，工作的本体学家通常会对发展本体的挑战性和缓慢感到惊讶。在这里，特别强调了内容丰富且旨在在用户社区中共享的各种本体论（参考本体论），我们建议在本体发展期间的挑战的重要和迄今为止不足的挑战的贡献是需要在面对不同意的情况下创造或实现共识。因此，参考本体开发至少在现有AI方法的局限性范围内无法自动化。此外，出于相同的原因，本体学家必须具有特定的社会谈判技巧，这些技能目前在大多数技术课程中都缺乏。
Ontology development methodologies emphasise knowledge gathering from domain experts and documentary resources, and knowledge representation using an ontology language such as OWL or FOL. However, working ontologists are often surprised by how challenging and slow it can be to develop ontologies. Here, with a particular emphasis on the sorts of ontologies that are content-heavy and intended to be shared across a community of users (reference ontologies), we propose that a significant and heretofore under-emphasised contributor of challenges during ontology development is the need to create, or bring about, consensus in the face of disagreement. For this reason reference ontology development cannot be automated, at least within the limitations of existing AI approaches. Further, for the same reason ontologists are required to have specific social-negotiating skills which are currently lacking in most technical curricula.
