Abstract

Ontological requirements play a key role in ontology development as they determine the knowledge that needs to be modelled. In addition, the analysis of such requirements can be used (a) to improve ontology testing by easing the automation of requirements into tests; (b) to improve the requirements specification activity; or (c) to ease ontology reuse by facilitating the identification of patterns. However, there is a lack of openly available ontological requirements published together with their associated ontologies, which hinders such analysis. Therefore, in this work we present CORAL (Corpus of Ontological Requirements Annotated with Lexico-syntactic patterns), an openly available corpus of 834 ontological requirements annotated and 29 lexico-syntactic patterns, from which 12 are proposed in this work. CORAL is openly available in three different open formats, namely, HTML, CSV and RDF under “Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International” license.

This work is partially supported by the H2020 project VICINITY: Open virtual neighbourhood network to connect intelligent buildings and smart objects (H2020-688467), by ETSI Specialist Task Force 534, and by a Predoctoral grant from the I+D+i program of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. The authors want to thank Agnieszka Ławrynowicz and her team for helping in the collection of ontological requirements.

    Please note that we consider 4 of the 5 ontologies analyzed by them. The only ontology left was not considered due to the fact that their requirements were published recently (November 26, 2018). It will be included in future releases (see Sect. 2.2).
