Humans have been producing ontologies for millennia to understand and explain our rationale and environment. Only recently has the process of building ontologies become a research topic of interest. Today, ontologies are built very much ad-hoc. A terminology is first developed providing a controlled vocabulary for the subject area or domain of interest, then it is organized into a taxonomy where key concepts are identified, and finally these concepts are defined and related to create an ontology. This paper describes how a domain analysis method based on faceted classification can be used for building ontologies. It relates domain analysis and ontologies, illustrates a step in the domain analysis method for identifying and categorizing concepts, and describes how this step, borrowed from library science, is incorporated into the domain analysis method.
