| Criterion |  Knowledge Modeling Ontology Design Patterns |  Knowledge Modeling NeOn Methodology |  Product Discovery Test Card |
|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | Ontology Design Patterns provide reusable building blocks for recurring modeling problems. The method brings structure to the search for clean concepts, relationships, and roles. | The NeOn Methodology structures ontology work as a controlled process with reuse, scenarios, and reviews. It is useful when ontologies should not emerge ad hoc but modularly and reusably. | The Test Card turns a critical assumption into a testable claim and specifies in advance which result counts as success. |
