| Abstract | This paper presents a survey on existing work on usability evaluation of ontology editors. It also highlights the lack of a standard approach for quantitative evaluation of ontology editors. An ontology editor facilitates the developers in ontology creation. It provides a GUI abstraction over common ontology development tasks and hides the technical complexities from the users. Different ontology editors have evolved in the last few years. Despite the continuous evolution of these tools, there has not been enough work done on usability evaluation of these tools. It is observed that most of the proposals evaluated their advocated tool by performing a feature-wise comparison with other tools. Only a few works quantitatively evaluate their proposed ontology editor with well-known ontology editors. This paper compiles existing work on usability evaluation of ontology editors. Based on our study, various issues involved in development of a standard approach to ontology editor evaluation have been highlighted. The paper concludes with recommendations for a standard approach to usability evaluation of ontology editors. |
