OLIVAW: ACIMOV's GitHub robot assisting agile collaborative ontology development
Abstract
Agile and collaborative approaches to ontologies design are crucial because they contribute to making them userdriven, up-to-date, and able to evolve alongside the systems they support, hence proper continuous validation tooling is required to ensure ontologies match developers' requirements all along their development. We propose OLIVAW (Ontology Long-lived Integration Via ACIMOV Workflow), a tool supporting the ACIMOV methodology on GitHub. It relies on W3C Standards to assist the development of modular ontologies through GitHub Composite Actions, pre-commit hooks, or a command line interface. OLIVAW was tested on several ontology projects to ensure its usefulness, genericity and reusability. A template repository is available for a quick start. OLIVAW is
