Abstract

A method for providing an evaluation/verification of the correctness of an ontology is described. The method includes loading a first ontology associated with a first rule set. an extended ontology and an extended rule set are generated based at least in part on the first ontology and the first rule set. The extended rule set is applied to the extended ontology. The method also includes determining (e.g., by a data processor) a correctness of the extended ontology. Results are generated which include the correctness. Apparatus and computer readable media are also described.
