Ontologies have become core
components of many large applications. This paper addresses the issues
of why one would build an ontology and presents a methodology for
creating ontologies based on declarative knowledge representation
systems. It leverages the authors experiences developing and maintaining
ontologies in a number of ontology environments including Protégé-2000,
Ontolingua, and Chimaera.
It utilizes a wines knowledge base example to present the methodology.
While it is aimed at users of frame-based systems, it can be useful
for building ontologies in any object-centered system.
