Abstract
In order to manage properly ontology development projects in complex settings and to apply correctly the NeOn Methodology, it is crucial to have knowledge of the entire ontology development life cycle before starting the development projects. The ontology project plan and scheduling helps the ontology development team to have this knowledge and to monitor the project execution. To facilitate the planning and scheduling of ontology development projects, the NeOn Toolkit plugin called gOntt has been developed. gOntt is a tool that supports the scheduling of ontology network development projects and helps to execute them. In addition, prescriptive methodological guidelines for scheduling ontology development projects using gOntt are provided.

Such scheduling templates show ontology project default plans based on the different and possible combinations among life cycle models, scenarios, and processes and activities.

Cheat sheets is a new emerging technology within Eclipse V3.0 that is meant to guide a developer through a series of complex tasks to achieve some overall goal. Some tasks can be performed automatically, such as launching the required tools for the user. Other tasks need to be completed manually by the user.
- 5.
gOntt has its own extension point that the rest of NeOn Toolkit plugins should implement (see Suárez-Figueroa et al. 2010 for more detail).
