    ONTO-TDM domain ontology population for a specific discipline.Rosana Abdoune, Lydia Lazib, Farida Dahmani-Bouarab & Jesualdo Tomás Fernández-Breis - 2024 - Applied ontology 19 (3):265-285.
    Ontologies play a vital role in organizing and constructing knowledge across various domains, enabling effective knowledge management and sharing. The development of domain-specific ontologies, such as the ONTO-TDM ontology for teaching domain modeling, is essential for providing a comprehensive and standardized representation of knowledge within a given discipline. However, to maximize the usefulness and relevance of such ontologies, it is crucial to automate their population with domain-specific information, reducing manual work and ensuring scalability. This paper presents a novel method for (...)

    Ontology and its applications in skills matching in job recruitment.Anh Chi Tuan, Minh Tuan Dang, Hai Nam Do, Vijender Kumar Solanki, Jorge Torres, Ruben Gonzalez Crespo & Thi Ngoc Anh Nguyen - 2024 - Applied ontology 19 (3):287-306.
    In the recruitment process, manually selecting suitable candidates from curriculum vitae (CVs) for a job description (JD) is both time-consuming and expensive. Traditional keyword-based methods struggle to capture skill semantics, prompting the development of more advanced JD-CV matching systems. This paper aims to investigate and construct an ontology-based skills recommendation system, with objectives including creating a skills ontology and developing skills matching methods for JD-CV pairs. The objective of our approach is to enhance the accuracy and contextual relevance of recommendations (...)

    Information extraction from automotive reports for ontology population.Hamid Ahaggach, Lylia Abrouk & Eric Lebon - 2024 - Applied ontology 19 (2):113-142.
    In this paper, we showcase our research on the use of ontologies and information extraction for the purpose of modeling damages incurred on car bodies. With the increasing use of technology in the automotive industry, it is important to have a standardized and efficient way of documenting and analyzing car damage reports. Most existing reports are unstructured, and there is a lack of standardization in describing the damage. To address this issue, we have developed a domain ontology for car damage (...)

    Towards a semantic blockchain: A behaviouristic approach to modelling Ethereum.Giampaolo Bella, Domenico Cantone, Marianna Nicolosi Asmundo & Daniele Francesco Santamaria - 2024 - Applied ontology 19 (2):143-180.
    Decentralised ledgers are gaining momentum following the interest of industries and people in smart contracts. Major attention is paid to blockchain applications intended for trading assets that exploit digital cryptographic certificates called tokens. Particularly relevant tokens are the non-fungible tokens (NFTs), namely, unique and non-replicable tokens used to represent the cryptographic counterpart of assets ranging from pieces of art through to licenses and certifications. A relevant consequence of the hard-coded nature of blockchains is the hardness of probing, in particular when (...)

    From slot mereology to a mereology of slots.Cédric Tarbouriech, Laure Vieu, Adrien Barton & Jean-François Éthier - 2024 - Applied ontology 19 (2):181-230.
    In 2013, Bennett proposed a mereological theory in which the parthood relation is defined on the basis of two primitive relations: a is a part of b iff a fills a slot owned by b. However, this theory has issues counting how many parts an entity has. We explore the various counting problems and propose a new theory to solve them. Keeping the core idea of Bennett’s slots, this theory introduces mereological relations between slots. This theory enables us to solve (...)

    From specialized knowledge frames to linguistically based ontologies.Pamela Faber & Pilar León-Araúz - 2024 - Applied ontology 19 (1):23-45.
    This paper explains conceptual modeling within the framework of Frame-Based Terminology (Faber, 2012; 2015; 2022), as applied to EcoLexicon (ecolexicon.ugr.es), a specialized knowledge base on the environment (León-Araúz, Reimerink &, Faber, 2019; Faber & León-Araúz, 2021). It describes how a frame-based terminological resource is currently being restructured and reengineered as an initial step towards its formalization and subsequent transformation into an ontology. It also explains how the information in EcoLexicon can be integrated in environmental ontologies such as ENVO (Buttigieg, Morrison, (...)

    Ontologies and knowledge representation in terminology: Present and future perspectives.Laura Giacomini - 2024 - Applied ontology 19 (1):7-21.
    This contribution reflects on the current role of ontologies in terminology research and practice and their future role, especially with a view to the creation of fully digital terminographic resources. The very notion of (domain) ontology, its concept and term, is discussed, highlighting metaterminological differences and substantial ambiguities arising from the interdisciplinary contact between Ontology Engineering and Terminology. Major challenges in ontology building, e.g. subjectivity, are mentioned, also with respect to the distinction between realist and non-realist ontologies and their relevance (...)

    Terminology in the domain of seafood: A comparative analysis Germany-Spain.Irene Jiménez Alonso & Pius ten Hacken - 2024 - Applied ontology 19 (1):99-112.
    In the last few decades, the study of terminology has undergone a cognitive shift that has led to the development of several approaches that study the social, linguistic, and cognitive dimension of terms, such as Communicative Theory of Terminology (CTT) and Frame-Based Terminology (FBT). CTT was developed in the early 1990s and argues that the study of terminology should be based on a communicative perspective, taking into account aspects such as the communicators and the context of communication. FBT has been (...)

    Toward a dynamic frame-based ontology of legal terminology.Waldemar Nazarov - 2024 - Applied ontology 19 (1):73-98.
    In the study of special languages and translation, the legal field is often insulated from other domains. This is primarily due to the extreme system dependence of the terminology of law, which results from a lack of a common legal system of reference throughout the world. The abstract nature of this human-made field and its dynamicity in view of the continuously evolving case law and constant changes in legislation make it difficult to illustrate its complex ontology through traditional terminology management (...)

    Concept systems and frames: Detecting and managing terminological gaps between languages.Rossella Resi - 2024 - Applied ontology 19 (1):47-71.
    This paper examines the concept of “terminological gaps” and strives to identify suitable methods for dealing with them during translation. The analysis begins with an investigation of the contended notion of gaps in terminology based on empirical examples drawn from a German-Italian terminological database specifically designed for translation purposes. Two macro categories of gaps are identified, conceptual and linguistic level gaps, which only partially correspond to previous observations in the literature. The paper uses examples to explore the advantages of ontological (...)

    How to classify domain entities into top-level ontology concepts using large language models.Alcides Lopes, Joel Carbonera, Fabricio Rodrigues, Luan Garcia & Mara Abel - 2024 - Applied ontology:1-29.
    Classifying domain entities into their respective top-level ontology concepts is a complex problem that typically demands manual analysis and deep expertise in the domain of interest and ontology engineering. Using an efficient approach to classify domain entities enhances data integration, interoperability, and the semantic clarity of ontologies, which are crucial for structured knowledge representation and modeling. Based on this, our main motivation is to help an ontology engineer with an automated approach to classify domain entities into top-level ontology concepts using (...)

    SinSO: An ontology of sustainability in software.Luisa Restrepo, César Pardo, Jose Aguilar, Mauricio Toro & Elizabeth Suescún - 2024 - Applied ontology:1-33.
    Sustainability in systems refers to applying sustainable principles and practices to create more resilient, efficient, and equitable systems that promote the well-being of people and the planet. Sustainability is an essential topic in contemporary software engineering, and its relationship with the characteristics and properties of a system or product called quality attributes is still an open question since each researcher has established their definition of sustainability in software. This has created diverse terms and concepts for distinct application environments and scopes, (...)
