Abstract

Knowledge bases play an important role in Design Science Research (DSR). Although some related work exists, no domain reference ontology is available for reuse and cumulative development of design knowledge. This paper presents a domain reference ontology for DSR knowledge bases using the SABiO methodology. The domain reference ontology is designed in Visual Paradigm based on the UFO and represented in OntoUML. Stakeholders have verified the results and syntactic consistency has been checked using the OntoUML plugin in Visual Paradigm. An operational ontology was designed and implemented in
a DSR project in OWL using WebProtégé. The ontology was populated and validated using competency questions and expert opinion. The domain reference ontology provides a blueprint for DSR knowledge bases and a conceptual foundation to develop operational ontologies to support the cumulative
development of design knowledge. Current work aims to evaluate the use of the operational ontology within operational systems and implement an interactive website for online collaboration. A user group and working group will be established to manage the lifecycle, which is open for interested scholars and
professionals to join.
