A Bayesian Network Based Model of Ontology Evaluation

The quality of the ontology's contents in various themes, which could be in different granularities or the combination of some themes, should be taken into account when evaluate the ontology. In this paper, we solve the issue by modeling the satisfaction of ontology-themes based on Bayesian network. And also, we propose a series of methods to manage the themes in ontology and evaluations from users and experts, which are the premise to use the evaluation model. A simulation was conducted to prove the flexibility of our approach.
