We provide a new method for systematically structuring the
top-down level of ontologies. It is based on an interactive, top-down
knowledge acquisition process, which assures that the knowledge engineer
considers all possible cases while avoiding redundant acquisition.
The method is suited especially for creating/merging the top part(s) of
the ontologies, where high accuracy is required, and for supporting the
merging of two (or more) ontologies on that level.
