Competency Questions

According to Jessica Talisman in The Ontology Pipeline®:

A competency question (CQ) is a natural-language question that the ontology, when combined with real instance data, must be able to answer. Every class, property, and axiom defined must trace back to at least one competency question it helps answer.
