more tools are being designed to provide such criteria to ease the task of developers
(e.g., Widoco [49]). We designed the ontology documentation mindmap

an overview of existing ontology documentation tools.
5. Availability advocates sharing the resource on the web. Developers do not have
time, resources, or administrative skills to manage the server. Ideally, an ontology catalog server hosts any ontologies and provide the right URL. Sharing the
ontology code and documentation on the web encourage ontology reuse.
6. Discoverability improves the dissemination of ontologies. For instance, suggesting ontologies on ontology catalogs and semantic search engines support
the dissemination. Several ontology catalogs are available which depends on the
application domain. Ideally, each ontology provides dereferenceable URI and can
be tested with the Vapour tool or the Curl command line.
