The development of ontologies that define entities and relationships among them has become essential for modern work in biomedicine. Ontologies are becoming so large in their coverage that no single centralized group of people can develop them effectively and ontology development becomes a community-based enterprise. In this paper we present Collaborative Protégé-a prototype tool that supports many aspects of community-based development, such as discussions integrated with ontology-editing process, chats, and annotation of changes. We have evaluated Collaborative Protégé in the context of the NCI Thesaurus development. Users have found the tool effective for carrying out discussions and recording design rationale.
定义实体及其之间关系的本体论的发展已成为现代生物医学工作的关键。本体论的覆盖范围变得如此之广，以至于没有一个单一的集中团队能够有效地开发它们，本体论开发成为了一项基于社区的事业。在本文中，我们展示了协作式Protégé——一个支持基于社区开发诸多方面的原型工具，例如与本体编辑过程集成的讨论、聊天以及变更注释。我们在NCI叙词表开发的背景下对协作式Protégé进行了评估。用户发现该工具对于进行讨论和记录设计原理很有效。
