Abstract

In this paper we continue the study focused mainly on simplifying understanding of ontologies by the user. In our previous work it was proposed to create special structures, the so-called cognitive frames for concepts of the ontology. It is expected that using cognitive frames for concept visualization will increase effectiveness of ontology knowledge transmission to the user. In this paper, we propose to create cognitive frames based on popular ontology design patterns. We also provide some experimental evaluation of cognitive qualities of such frames created for the concepts of the application ontology.
