OntoMetrics: Application of On-line Ontology Metric Calculation

A lot of work has been done regarding ontology evaluation in the recent years. Automatically calculated indicators are needed in order to assess ontology quality. Manual evaluation of ontologies would be very time consuming. While there is tool support for the detection modelling errors and the violation of ontology modelling guidelines, there is a lack of support for calculating ontology metrics. Many metrics have been proposed that correlate for example with ontology characteristics like Readability, Adaptability, and Reusability. However, no tools have been created or tools are no longer maintained and bound to certain ontology editors. OntoMetrics fills this gap by providing an on-line platform for ontology metric calculation.This paper presents the current status of OntoMetrics, use cases and planned future developments.
