Summary:Ontologies are formal, explicit specifications of shared conceptualizations of a given domain of discourse. Applications of ontologies include knowledge description for intelligent reasoning, especially in the context of distributed applications like the semantic web, knowledge management. Firstly, this paper presents a new notion of the quality of ontologies, based on the idea that this quality concerns the relationship between a cognitive conceptualization and an explicit specification. Secondly, the paper presents an experimental method to evaluate this new aspect of quality. Third, this paper proposes semantic view as part of an ontology, and demonstrate that it is sufficient to validate a data instance against the semantic view rather than the entire ontology.
