Abstract: Highlights•We model usage patterns of five different ontology-engineering projects.•Users work in micro-workflows and specific user-roles can be identified.•Class hierarchy influences users’ edit behavior.•Users edit ontologies top-down, breadth-first and prefer closely related classes.•Users perform property-based workflows.
