Abstract: This paper outlines the design process that is used to create Topic Maps Ontologies for space experiments in a wide range of scientific disciplines. This design process is implemented in three iterations, one for creating initial Topic Maps Ontologies and two for further refinement. The paper focuses on the first iteration that consists of nine workshops with various providers of space experiment data, each active in a different scientific domain. Furthermore, we report our findings in holding these workshops.
This full paper is part oft the session Ontology Modelling 1 at the TMRA 2009 conference.
