Abstract: In this paper, we describe a set of software tools called the PRIDE ONTOlogy Editor (PRONTOE) and a methodology that allows system operators and domain experts to build and maintain ontologies of their systems with no explicit understanding of the underlying ontology representation. We present three case studies: one using NASA flight controllers, one using the DARPA Robotic Challenge, and one using unmanned vehicles.
