Abstract: Although ontologies occupy a central place in the Semantic Web and related research domains, there are currently not many fully fledged ontology engineering methodologies available. In this paper, we want to present an integrated methodology for ontology engineering from scratch, inspired by various scientific disciplines, in particular database semantics and natural language processing.
