Abstract

We use ontology to capture the knowledge about domains. There are considerable number of ontologies which have been developed. To develop a new ontology, we use the existing concepts of the ontologies according to the domain needs. The reusability of the concept maintains shareability of knowledge across the domains and prevents multiple interpretation of the defined concept. An Internationalized Resource Identifier (IRI) of the concept is used to connect the various concepts with each other. This work aims to provide an IRI-Debug tool that enables the ontologist to validate their crafted ontology against the standard ontologies using IRI and gauging to what extent their ontology’s concepts or properties, if reused, compliant to the standard ontologies. This tool allows user to select a desired appropriate ontology from the available ontologies and validate the developed ontology with respect to standard ontologies.
