Applied Ontology英文简介：

In recent years, the dramatic growth of information and communication technologies has led to an increasingly interdisciplinary approach to research and development activities in these fields. To exploit the immense opportunities of widespread networks effectively, designers of modern information systems need to combine the precision of formal semantics with the needs of cognitive transparency, as they incorporate increasingly sophisticated and heterogeneous information content. The recent explosion of interest on ontologies is an important component of this trend. Researchers in disciplines such as knowledge engineering, information systems modeling, artificial intelligence, formal and computational linguistics, information retrieval, library science, and knowledge management have come to realize that a solid foundation for their research calls for serious work in ontology, understood as a general theory of the types of entities and relations that make up their respective domains of inquiry. In all these areas, attention has started to focus squarely on the content of information, rather than on just the formats and languages used to represent that content.Applied Ontology focuses on information content in its broadest sense. As the subtitle makes clear, two broad kinds of content-based research activities are envisioned: ontological analysis and conceptual modeling. The former includes any attempt to investigate the nature and structure of a domain of interest using rigorous philosophical or logical tools; the latter concerns the cognitive and linguistic structures we use to model the world, as well as the various analysis tools and methodologies we adopt for producing useful computational models, such as information systems schemes or knowledge structures.Applied Ontology is the first journal with an explicit and exclusive focus on ontological analysis and conceptual modeling under an interdisciplinary view. It aims to establish a unique niche in the realm of scientific journals by carefully avoiding unnecessary duplication with discipline-oriented journals. For this reason, authors will be encouraged to use language that will be intelligible also to those outside their specific sector of expertise, and the review process will be tailored to this end. For example, authors of theoretical contributions will be encouraged to show the relevance of their theory for applications, while authors of more technological papers will be encouraged to show the relevance of a well-founded theoretical perspective. Moreover, the journal will publish papers focusing on representation languages or algorithms only where these address relevant content issues, whether at the level of practical application or of theoretical understanding. Similarly, it will publish descriptions of tools or implemented systems only where a contribution to the practice of ontological analysis and conceptual modeling is clearly established.Applied Ontology aims at being a major publication forum for theoretical and applied research in a variety of topics, tentatively grouped together in research areas, examples of which are indicated in the list below.Foundational issuesPhilosophical foundations of ontologyBasic ontological categories and relationsOntology, epistemology, and semioticsSpecialized ontologiesOntology of time, events and processesOntology of space and geographyOntology of physics and physical objectsOntology of biomedicineOntology of mental entitiesOntology of agents and actionsOntology of organizations and social realityOntology of the information societyOntology of business and e-commerceOntology of lawOntology of history, culture, and evolutionOntology development and ontology-driven conceptual modelingMethodologies for ontology developmentImpact of ontological analysis on current modeling practicesBest-practice examples and case studiesOntology managementTools for ontology development, analysis, and comparisonComparison and evaluation of ontologiesOntology management, maintenance, versioningMethodologies for ontology merging, alignment, and integrationSemantic WebOntology and languageOntology and natural-language semanticsOntology and lexical resourcesOntology and terminologyOntology learning techniques and their evaluationRole of ontology in natural-language systemsOntology, cognition, perceptionConceptual schemas, perceptual invariances, and ontological categorizationPsychological experiments evaluating the cognitive adequacy of ontological categoriesOntology and content standardsLibrary scienceKnowledge organizationMuseums and cultural repositoriesMultimedia contentProduct descriptionsProcess and service descriptionsBiomedical and other scientific terminologiesInnovative ontology-based applicationsAbstracted/Indexed inAcademic Source CompleteACM Digital LibraryCompendexDBLP Bibliography ServerGoogle ScholarMicrosoft Academic SearchScopusUlrich's Periodicals DirectoryWeb of Science: Current Contents/EngineeringWeb of Science: Journal Citation Reports/Science EditionWeb of Science: Science Citation Index-Expanded (SciSearch®)

Applied Ontology中文简介：

近年来，信息和通信技术的迅猛发展，使得这些领域的研究和开发活动越来越跨学科。为了有效地利用广泛网络的巨大机遇，现代信息系统的设计者需要将形式语义的精确性与认知透明度的需要结合起来，因为它们包含了越来越复杂和异质的信息内容。最近对本体论的兴趣爆发是这一趋势的一个重要组成部分。诸如知识工程、信息系统建模、人工智能、形式和计算语言学、信息检索、图书馆学和知识管理等学科的研究人员已经认识到，他们研究的坚实基础需要在本体论中进行严肃的工作，被理解为一般理论。构成其各自查询领域的实体和关系的类型。在所有这些领域，人们的注意力已经开始完全集中在信息的内容上，而不仅仅集中在表示信息内容的格式和语言上。应用本体论最广泛地关注信息内容。正如副标题所阐明的，我们设想了两种广泛的基于内容的研究活动：本体分析和概念建模。前者包括使用严格的哲学或逻辑工具研究感兴趣领域的性质和结构的任何尝试；后者涉及我们用来模拟世界的认知和语言结构，以及我们用来生成有用计算模型的各种分析工具和方法，如格式系统方案或知识结构。应用本体论是第一本在跨学科视角下明确、专攻本体分析和概念建模的期刊。它旨在通过谨慎地避免与学科导向期刊的不必要重复，在科学期刊领域建立一个独特的生态位。出于这个原因，将鼓励作者使用那些不属于其特定专业领域的人也能理解的语言，并且审查过程将为此而量身定做。例如，鼓励理论贡献的作者展示其理论在应用中的相关性，同时鼓励更多技术论文的作者展示一个有根据的理论观点的相关性。此外，该期刊还将发表论文，重点放在表达语言或算法上，这些语言或算法只能解决相关内容问题，无论是在实际应用层面还是理论理解层面。同样，只有在本体分析和概念建模的实践中有明确的贡献时，它才会发布工具或实现系统的描述。应用本体论旨在成为各种主题的理论和应用研究的主要出版论坛，在研究领域暂时分组，其示例如下所示。基础问题本体论的哲学基础基本本体分类与关系本体论、认识论和符号学专门的本体论时间、事件和过程的本体论空间地理本体论物理与物理对象的本体论生物医学本体论精神实体的本体论代理和行为的本体论组织本体论与社会现实信息社会本体论商业与电子商务本体论法律本体论历史、文化和进化的本体论本体开发与本体驱动的概念建模本体开发方法论本体分析对当前建模实践的影响最佳实践示例和案例研究本体管理本体开发、分析和比较工具本体比较与评价本体管理、维护、版本控制本体合并、对齐和集成的方法语义网本体论与语言本体论与自然语言语义学本体论与词汇资源本体论与术语本体学习技术及其评价本体论在自然语言系统中的作用本体论、认知、知觉概念模式、知觉不变性和本体分类心理实验评价本体论范畴的认知充分性本体论和内容标准图书馆学知识组织博物馆和文化宝库多媒体内容产品说明流程和服务说明生物医学和其他科学术语基于本体的创新应用程序摘要/索引完成学术来源美国计算机协会数字图书馆康明德DBLP书目服务器谷歌学者Microsoft学术搜索斯科普斯乌尔里希期刊目录科学网：当前内容/工程科学网：期刊引文报告/科学版科学网：科学引文索引扩展（scisearch®）
