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. %Z %U http://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/stumme/papers/2003/ganter2003creation.pdf %+ %^
