Why create an ontology?
An ontology provides a common vocabulary for researchers who need to share information in the domain. Some of the reasons to create an ontology are:
To share common understanding of the structure of information among people or software agents
To enable reuse of domain knowledge
To make domain assumptions explicit
To separate domain knowledge from operational knowledge
To analyze domain knowledge
