I'm currently building an OWL Ontology for the manufacturing/automation domain. I have realized that the eCl@ss Catalog contains crucial information in this regard, and it should be reused. The thing is that the OWL eCl@ss is built for the 5.1.4 and the catalog is now in 9.1 version, therefore many information is not included there. Is still a good practice to reuse this ontology?
A good question, but I'm not sure how many experts are around in ResearchGate. Maybe there is a mailing list around the OWL eCl@ss effort where more experts are listening.
When they made an ontology from the catalogue they must have used some sort of translation scheme and some sort of automatic translation tool. Chances are that (most of) the translation scheme and the tool can be reused for version 9.1 of the catalogue.
Also it is entirely possible that the new version of the catalogue only (or mostly) adds new instances (say intel i7-3770T ) whereas the classification scheme encoded as classes that I guess make out the heart of your ontology (say microprocessor) has remained the same.
