A Survey Of Ontology Benchmarks For Semantic Web Ontology Tools

Software engineering employs different benchmarks for a software evaluation. This enables software developers to continuously improve their product. The same needs are intrinsic for software tools in the semantic web field. While there are many different benchmarks already available, there has not been their overview and categorization yet. This work provides such an overview and categorization of benchmarks specifically oriented on benchmarks where an ontology plays an important role. Benchmarks are naturally categorized in line with ontology tool categorization along with an indication which activities those benchmarks are deliberate and which are non-deliberative. Although the article itself can already navigate a reader to an adequate benchmark, we moreover automatically designed a flexible rule-based recommendation tool based on the analysis of existing benchmarks.
