Using Ontologies - Understanding the User Experience
نویسندگان
چکیده
Drawing on 118 responses to a survey of ontology use, this paper describes the experiences of those who create and use ontologies. Responses to questions about language and tool use illustrate the dominant position of OWL and provide information about the OWL profiles and particular Description Logic features used. The paper suggests that further research is required into the difficulties experienced with OWL constructs, and with modelling in OWL. The survey also reports on the use of ontology visualization software, finding that the importance of visualization to ontology users varies considerably. This is also an area which requires further investigation. The use of ontology patterns is examined, drawing on further input from a follow-up study devoted exclusively to this topic. Evidence suggests that pattern creation and use are frequently informal processes and there is a need for improved tools. A classification of ontology users into four groups is suggested. It is proposed that the categorisation of users and user behaviour should be taken into account when designing ontology tools and methodologies. This should enable rigorous, user-specific use cases.

Background and Aim: Ontologies facilitate data integration, exchange, searching and querying. Open Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) Foundry is a solution for creating reference ontologies. In this foundry, the design of ontologies is based on established principles which allow for their interactions as a single system. The purpose of this study is to determine the main features of ontologies develop...
متن کاملOntology-based User Interface Development: User Experience Elements Pattern
The user experience of any software or website consists of elements from the conceptual to the concrete level. These elements of user experience assist in the design and development of user interfaces. On the other hand, ontologies provide a framework for computable representation of user interface elements and underlying data. This paper discusses strategies of introducing ontologies at differ...

We present a novel approach for the exploitation of embedded knowledge in the domain of industrial maintenance. Our approach extends the SOUPA set of ontologies (Standard Ontology for Ubiquitous and Pervasive Applications) with two new ontologies (i) the Set of Experience Knowledge Structure, used to model the user’s experience and (ii) the AR ontology which models an Augmented Reality environm...
