Applied Ontology
Scope & Guideline
Connecting Ideas, Transforming Knowledge
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Ontology Development and Management:
Focuses on methodologies for creating, managing, and reusing ontologies, addressing challenges related to consensus creation and representation. - Application of Ontologies in Various Domains:
Explores the application of ontologies in diverse fields such as healthcare, legal terminology, smart cities, and automotive industries, emphasizing practical implementations and case studies. - Interdisciplinary Approaches to Knowledge Representation:
Encourages the integration of ontological frameworks with other disciplines, such as linguistics, computer science, and social sciences, to enhance knowledge representation. - Formal Ontology and Foundational Models:
Examines foundational ontologies and their role in providing a structured basis for semantic interoperability and data integration across systems. - Ontology Evaluation and Enhancement:
Investigates methods for assessing the effectiveness of ontologies and improving their design to better meet user needs and application requirements.
Trending and Emerging
- Integration of Ontologies with Emerging Technologies:
Recent works emphasize the convergence of ontologies with technologies such as blockchain and large language models, suggesting a growing interest in how ontologies can enhance these technologies. - Dynamic and Adaptive Ontologies:
There is an increasing focus on developing ontologies that can adapt to real-time data and user interactions, exemplified by papers discussing dynamic frame-based ontologies and quality-of-life models. - Interdisciplinary Research in Ontology:
A trend towards interdisciplinary approaches is evident, with publications merging insights from linguistics, social sciences, and informatics to create more robust ontological frameworks. - Ontology in User-Generated Content:
The application of ontological models to analyze and improve user-generated content, particularly in smart city contexts, is gaining traction as a relevant and impactful area of study. - Collaborative Ontology Development:
The importance of collaborative efforts in ontology development is highlighted, with discussions around guidelines for ontology reuse and consensus-driven approaches becoming more prominent.
Declining or Waning
- Historical and Cultural Ontologies:
Topics related to the ontological modeling of historical artifacts and cultural heritage, such as the 'ideal Benedictine Monastery' and 'Arabic ontology', are less frequently addressed in recent publications. - Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) and Its Variants:
Although foundational ontologies like BFO were once prominent, their discussion appears to be decreasing, potentially overshadowed by more dynamic and application-oriented ontological frameworks. - Traditional Knowledge Representation Models:
Themes centered around conventional knowledge representation techniques are becoming less prevalent as the focus shifts towards more innovative and interdisciplinary approaches. - Single-Domain Specific Ontologies:
A noticeable decrease in the development of ontologies tailored to very specific domains, as the community moves towards more generalized frameworks that can be adapted across multiple domains. - Static Ontological Structures:
The interest in static, unchanging ontological models is waning in favor of dynamic and evolving ontologies that can adapt to changing data and user needs.
