TL;DR
A survey of the state of the art in ontology evaluation is presented, typically in order to determine which of several ontologies would best suit a particular purpose.
Abstract
An ontology is an explicit formal conceptualization of some domain of interest. Ontologies are increasingly used in various fields such as knowledge management, information extraction, and the semantic web. Ontology evaluation is the problem of assessing a given ontology from the point of view of a particular criterion of application, typically in order to determine which of several ontologies would best suit a particular purpose. This paper presents a survey of the state of the art in ontology evaluation. 1

This work proposes a method, ONTOMETRIC, which allows the users to measure the suitability of existing ontologies, regarding the requirements of their systems.
Open Research Online (The Open University)Data Driven Ontology Evaluation
337 Citations2004Christopher Brewster, Harith Alani +2 more
It is proposed in this paper that one approach to ontology evaluation should be corpus or data driven, because a corpus is the most accessible form of knowledge and its use allows a measure to be derived of the ‘fit’ between an ontology and a domain of knowledge.

An initial validation of the Ontology Auditor on the DARPA Agent Markup Language (DAML) library of domain ontologies indicates that the metrics are feasible and highlights the wide variation in quality among ontologies in the library.

A Peer-review Approach for Ontology Evaluation
40 Citations2005Kaustubh Supekar
To have a sustained growth of the semantic web and to have better interoperability between intelligent systems and applications it is highly desirable and very critical to reuse existing ontologies, and there are no operational quantitative or qualitative methodologies to assess the quality of ontology content.
