초록

A methodology of ontology design and a computer system supporting ontology design are needed. Our research goals include development of a methodology for ontology design and a its support environment. Although several systems for building ontologies have been implemented, they do not consider ontological theory very much. We discuss how to apply the \"role-concept\" and \"relationship\" in our environment, named Hozo, for creating and using ontologies. We present the architecture, functionalities of its modules, its interface and the some experiences on the design and use of ontologies.
