Time required to access data and query knowledge base is one of the most important parameter in designing information system. When the size increases, the complexity of an ontology makes reasoning and querying processes less efficient and very time consuming. Although performances are crucial, other features, such as the type of license, the availability of a related community support or the ease of adoption of a particular technology are often key elements in a decision-process of an industrial designer. This paper proposes an evaluation of main semantic technologies in terms of different metrics at varying ontology sizes. The evaluation aims at building a concrete framework for supporting industrial designers of ontology-based software systems to make proper decisions, taking into account the scale of their knowledge base and the main metrics.
