This guide describes an ontology development methodology, lists possible steps in the process, and addresses the complex issues of defining class hierarchies and properties of classes and instances. Note: The creators of this guide used Protege-2000 as an ontology-developing environment for their examples, as well as the famous Wine Ontology.
