Abstract—The Malaysian food composition ontology (MyFCO) models a dietitian’s knowledge in designing dietary menu planning. Ontology Development 101 is the method of ontology modeling. The objective of this paper was to share the experience in evaluating MyFCO. It specifically focused on the validation activity using OOPS! tools. The results obtained from OOPS! showed that MyFCO was free from critical error; however, it had three important and six minor pitfalls. Four pitfalls were repaired, whereas the others were remained. The integration between automatic and conventional validation` approaches enhanced the quality of ontology being modeled. The tools improved the conventional approach with faster, easier, and less subjective of a diagnosis activity. Whereas for repair activity, it recommended solutions for the pitfalls.
