[edit] Overview

HCOME stands for Human-Centered Ontology Engineering Methodology. It supports the development of ontologies in a decentralized fashion. They introduce three different spaces in which ontologies can be stored. The first one is the Personal Space. In this space users can create and merge ontologies, control ontology versions, map terms and word senses to concepts and consult the top ontology. The evolving personal ontologies can be shared in the Shared Space. The shared space can be accessed by all participants. In the shared space users can discuss ontological decisions based on the IBIS \cite{rittel70ibis} model. After a discussion and agreement the ontology is moved to the Agreed space.
