Abstract— Ontology researchers struggle to propose various methods and methodology in ontology evaluation as reference sources for ontology engineering and evaluating process. In this paper, we intend to explain a new ontology evaluation methodology (i.e., OntoAbsolute) which it is proposed to evaluate structural domains in semantic relations and concepts in upper, middle and lower ontologies. In 2007, a modern method was proposed in quantitative evaluation of the structural domains in knowledge organizations based on Kant's Epistemology. OntoAbsolute relies on the modern quantitative evaluation method to evaluate simplicity and unity concepts (i.e., metaproperties) in the structural domains in concepts and their relations via proposed criteria and related measures. OntoAbsolute has a capacity to develop new criteria and measures to access cognitive results in ontology as a whole. OntoAbsolute is similar to OntoClean in terms of domainindependent feature and meta-properties usage and also OntoAbsolute consists of the same structure to classify the characteristics (i.e., multi-level framework) with OntoMetric.(Abstract) Keywords- Ontology Evaluation; Methodologies; OntoClean; OntoMetric; OntoAbsolute; Structural Domains Analysis; Semantic Relations; Concepts Structure; Simplicity Concept; Unity Concept; Criteria

INTRODUCTION
There are different types of ontologies which can be classified according to levels of abstraction that are: Upper level, middle level [14] and lower [7]. Upper level are general enough to address a broad range of domain areas [10] Lower level Ontologies contain knowledge about a specific domain [20]. The middle one serves as a bridge between upper onology and lower level ontology [14]. This category which can cover different kinds of ontologies demonstrates external semantic relations to connect these types of ontologies with one another. In the case, more than a dozen methods are known by this time [8] and various kinds of models are proposes to classify these methods in ontology evaluation. Yu, Thom, and Tam (2009) presented two influential ontology evaluation methodologies: OntoClean and OntoMetric. OntoMetric is the most well-known methodologies to evaluate domain or lower-

level ontologies and OntoClean as a domain-independent methodology analyzes the upper-level ontologies [35]. In 2007, Amirhosseini proposed a method in quantitative evaluation of the structural domains in knowledge organizations based on Kant's Epistemology [1]. This method has evaluated several knowledge organizations in the field of the pure, practical and social sciences since 2007.
