Abstract(in English) Controlling cost and quality of an ontology is a critical issue in development of practical ontology-based systems. The paper applies social network analysis techniques to evaluation of ontology quality. We model a hierarchical structure of an ontology as a network graph, and then calculate a centrality score for each concept of the ontology. Comparing the centrality with subjective evaluation by ontology engineers, we discuss the usefulness of centrality metrics in ontology evaluation.
