Abstract
Ontology reuse is one of the fundamental activities of ontology development methodologies. By striving to reuse existing ontologies, developers align the new product with established models, an essential prerequisite for seamless communication and integration among systems. Although ontology reuse has been increasingly endorsed over the past twenty years, there remains a significant lack of practical solutions to assist developers in semi-automatically assessing the suitability of a candidate ontology for reuse, based on a new set of requirements. This paper advocates for an explicit phase to be incorporated into existing ontology development methodologies, involving a principled identification of candidate ontologies for reuse based on requirement similarity. The paper identifies the methodological steps that this phase should entail, and demonstrates these steps through a practical case study. It therefore offers concrete support to ontology engineers by providing an objective method to identify suitable candidate ontologies for reuse, and overall contributes to the ontology design endevour.
