Ontology is an essential component of the Semantic Web and in recent times, the significance of modular ontologie- s is largely increasing due to their superiority over monolithic ontologies. Out of the multiple modularization choices available, one which guarantees best system design and performance should be applied. Some attributes of modular structure such as cohesion and coupling, determine the goodness of modularization technique applied. Few works are available in the field of assessing modular ontology in terms of cohesion and coupling. We gives an approach for analysing cohesion and coupling of modular ontology. Modular ontology that consists of multiple ontologies (ontology modules). A Good, modular ontology design: “Low coupling, high cohesion“ principle. Ontology module coupling: the degree of relatedness between ontology modules low coupling: concepts in a module are not strongly related to concepts in other modules. Ontology module cohesion: the degree of relatedness of classes in a module high cohesion: concepts in a module tend to be strongly related to other concepts in the module
