Automatic Evaluation of Domain-Specific Ontology Based on Ontology Co-relation Network

Ontology evaluation is a key challenge in the field of ontology development and reuse. Current methods of evaluation sometimes can not cover the users' requirements because they are based on isolated ontology. This paper proposes that the evaluation can be based on the relations among domain-specific ontology, defines an ontology co-relation network with mapping relations, and introduces a PageRank-like method to obtain the rank of ontology. Following we validate our method by experiment on a real ontology dataset, and finally indicate the signification of score in our method.
