Antipattern comprehension: an empirical evaluation (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hou, T., Chapman, P., & Blake, A. (2016, July). Antipattern comprehension: an empirical evaluation. Presented at 9th International Conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems

Comprehension of justifications is known to be difficult for even experienced ontology engineers, and much more so for other stakeholders. In this paper, we present two methods for displaying justifications using concept diagrams: using multiple conc... Read More about Antipattern comprehension: an empirical evaluation.
