Before one starts modeling, one shall consider reuse. Is there possible an Ontology that one can reuse, use of and that already exists. This is reasonable becuase one can save costs and one might want to apply Tools that are applied for other existing Ontologies and that should also applied to our own Ontology. If one reuses an Ontology one can be sure that this Ontology has been valided by their Application. So always consider Reuse before one tries to develop something new, at least one should think about it.

• Why should we consider reuse?
• in order to save cost
• in order to apply tools that are applied for other existing Ontologies also for our own Ontology
• in order to reuse Ontologoies that have been validated by their Application

If you don not find a suitable Ontology or if the Adaption is too complex then create a new Ontology!
