A list of topics for construction of a bibliographic ontology using an automated tool

Abstract

Recently, with the growing number of available data sources, it is increasingly difficult to select, acquire and combine data. Several published works have made use of ontologies to organize and characterize data. The use of terminological-based logics such as knowledge representation formalisms, allows the construction and implementation of ontologies in computers. This paper presents a brief survey of methodologies, tools and languages used to build ontologies and a list of topics to guide the construction of an ontology in the bibliographic field, with the use of OIL (Ontology Interchange Language) logic-based language. It also demonstrates how OILEd can be used to build an ontology about bibliographic references.
