by DMOZ and Wikipedia• Package-based ontology management can
– Control the scope of an editing action– Minimize the risk of vandalization
• Better tradeoff between broader participation and ontology quality– There are different levels of curators, e.g. ontology
admins, pig experts, pig health experts.– An editing action can be approved or denied by a
curator with higher privileges

Collaborative Ontology BuildingOntology modularity facilitates collaborative building• Each package can be independently developed• Different curators can concurrently edit the
ontology on different packages• Ontology can be only partially loaded• Unwanted interactions are minimized by limiting
term and axiom visibility• Module access privileges can be controlled by the
package hierarchy
