Noy and McGuinness Methodology

Noy and McGuinness methodology is a systematic approach for developing clear and accurate ontologies—structured models of knowledge. It guides the process of defining concepts and their relationships within a domain, ensuring consistency and clarity. The methodology emphasizes steps like clarifying the purpose, reusing existing knowledge, choosing relevant concepts, and iteratively refining the model through expert collaboration. By following this structured process, developers create ontologies that improve understanding, data sharing, and reasoning across systems, making complex information more accessible and interoperable.
