Abstract
Ontology is a broad term including a wide range of activities. Ontology can provide semantics for the
next generation of World Wide Web. Recently ontology has become a major research issues in several
disciplines of Computer Science and Information Systems. There are a range of domain ontologies on
the semantic web such as Gene Ontology, Biological science ontology, CIDOC-CRM ontology of
culture heritage documentation, FRBR in Bibliographic and NCI cancer ontology. When a new
methodology is going to build, several basic questions arise related to the methodology, tools and
techniques which are to be used in the development process. The study discusses various ontology
engineering methodologies and compares major existing domain ontologies with these ontology
engineering methodologies. The study critically analyses the problems of existing engineering methodologies
and put forward some suggestions to overcome these limitations. The study will act as a
guide to ontology developers and ontology experts.
