Recently, domain specific ontology development has been driven by research on the
Semantic Web. Ontologies have been suggested for use in many application areas targeted by the
Semantic Web, such as dynamic web service composition and general web service matching.
Fundamental characteristics of these ontologies must be determined in order to effectively make use of
them: for example, Sirin, Hendler and Parsia have suggested that determining fundamental
characteristics of ontologies is important for dynamic web service composition. Our research examines
cohesion metrics for ontologies. The cohesion metrics examine the fundamental quality of cohesion as
it relates to ontologies.
