Abstract

Ontologies have gained popularity, but its promises of being a key point to the solution of real-world problems and mitigating interoperability problems at a large scale have not yet been accomplished. Ontology management is at the kernel of this evolution, and there is a lack of adequate strategies and mechanisms for handling it in such a way to contribute to a better alignment between business and IT. This work proposes an approach for enterprise ontology management as part of an Information Architecture initiative. This approach provides a more complete foundation of the ontology lifecycle while guiding the enterprise in this management, by defining a set of processes, roles and competencies required for ontology management. It was applied to a big enterprise in Brazil at the Data Integration department.
