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 Page Rank-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.
