Discussion of what ontologies are (and are not) and how to build them in two primary stages: 1) Requirements analysis and 2) Conceptualization. Each primary stage is broken down into sub- stages in which detailed concerns (e.g., domain and range, classes and properties, use of existing vocabularies) is considered. Good amount of discussion on how ontology relates to Linked Data with lots of examples.
