Competency Questions (CQs) are essential in ontology engineering; they express an ontology’s functional requirements through natural language questions, offer crucial insights into an ontology’s scope, and are pivotal for various tasks, such as ontology reuse, testing, requirement specification, and pattern definition. CQ engineering approaches are gaining prominence, transitioning from manual to automatic methods, each with its own purpose, techniques, outcomes, and limitations. In this paper, we provide a review aimed at positioning these approaches within a formal categorisation, highlighting the main challenges among them and facilitating the inclusion of upcoming initiatives, and propose a benchmark to support comparative studies.
