| Criterion |  Knowledge Modeling Ontology Design Patterns |  Systems Thinking Wardley Mapping |  Knowledge Modeling NeOn Methodology |
|---|---|---|---|
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. | Wardley Mapping makes visible where an offering stands today and where it can evolve. The method connects user need, value chain, and evolution stages into a strategic basis for platform, build, or buy decisions. | 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. |
