A methodology to identify task/domain ontologies is proposed in this paper. According to the methodology, task/domain ontologies that are indispensable for building reusable knowledge base are identified. The methodology has two kinds of ontologies in the different abstraction levels. The first one is based on a vocabulary applicable in common to the entire target field. With this vocabulary, knowledge engineers can discuss with domain experts, and build a expertise model in collaboration with domain experts. The second one is based on a generic vocabulary. By defining the common vocabulary in terms of the generic vocabulary, reusable task model that is called a knowledge model can be built. We evaluate the effectiveness of this methodology by applying it into substation restoration problems.
