Abstract
We provide a new method for systematically structuring the top-down level of ontologies.It is based on an interactive, top--down knowledge acquisitionprocess, which assures that the knowledge engineerconsiders all possible cases while avoiding redundant acquisition.The method is suited especially for creating/merging the toppart(s) of the ontologies, where high accuracy is required, and for supporting the merging of two (or more) ontologies on that level.
