The Application of ODCM for Building Well-Founded Legal Domain Ontologies: A Case Study in the Domain of Carriage of Goods by Sea

Published: 17 June 2019 Publication History

Abstract

The ontology engineering community is facing several key challenges about the development of domain ontologies. One major challenge is the building of well-founded domain ontologies. This concept has raised recently and it refers to ontologies that are grounded in validated foundational ontologies. This paper addresses the effective contribution of ontology-driven conceptual modeling process (ODCM) for developing such ontologies in the legal domain. A case study in the domain of carriage of goods by sea is presented.
