Although ontologies have been proposed as an important and natural means of representing real worldknowledge for the development of database designs, most ontology creation is not carried out systemati-cally. To be truly useful, a repository of ontologies, organized by application domain is needed, along withprocedures for creating and integrating ontologies into database design methodologies.

Empirical validation of the prototypedemonstrates the effectiveness of the research.
