Based on case studies from different industrial domains, this paper presents experiences from ontology development and gives recommendations for industrial ontology construction projects. The recommendations include (1) using defined roles in a matrix project organisation, (2) perspectives on generalisation/specialisation strategy and ontology lifecycle phases, and (3) aspects of user participation in ontology construction.

In this paper, we describe our study on the relation between formation of abstractions and aspects of executive control in the context of process modeling. We have observed and recorded three business process modeling projects in different companies. We report on the findings resulting from the analysis of the first project. We find evidence that certain traits related to high-quality abstraction formation contribute to more structured modeling performance. Through our analysis we gain more insight in the cognitive ...
