Paper illustration of NeOn Methodology with its method-specific working model.
Knowledge Modeling
NeOn Methodology
Purposedifferent
Helps clarify architecture context, options, and consequences in concrete terms. It organizes technical context, alternatives, and consequences. The result is captured as an Annotated Diagram, a Prioritized Risk List, and an Action Backlog.When demand only needs to be roughly verified, it tests interest with minimal effort. It measures whether people would take a next step at all.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.
