I designed and developed a domain ontology for solid waste collection management and have OWL/RDF version of my OntoWM domain ontology. Can I use quantitative or qualitative method to evaluate the OntoWM domain ontology? any sample thesis or article please.

There are many ways to quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate the ontology. For your particular task, For example: https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01274199/document
But for your current task here is an interesting article, discussing from building to evaluation of the Solid waste material ontology (titled: A Solid Waste Ontology for Global City Indicators (ISO 37120) ) URL for accessing:
Technical Report A Solid Waste Ontology for Global City Indicators (ISO 37120...
Hopefully this will be helpful
Either quantitative or qualitative approach can be used for evaluating ontologies. The chosen approach should be informed by what you intend to expose in the ontology. Check Tartir et al. (2010), Ontological Evaluation and Validation, Tartir et al (2005) and (2007), Ontology Evaluation and Ranking using OntoQA.
Hi Abdul, both approaches are valid,
However, the fundamental aprroach in Ontology Enginering is the posibility to provide answer to competency questions.
Anyway, I leave you here a reference:
