Concepts, Ontologies, and Knowledge Representation

Recording knowledge in a common framework that would make it possible to seamlessly share global knowledge remains a central challenge for researchers. This annotated survey of the literature examines ideas about concepts, ontologies, and knowledge representation that address this challenge. A separate section to each of the above topics is dedicated following a uniform outline: definition, organization, and use

Concepts, ontologies, and knowledge representation

Recording knowledge in a common framework that would make it possible to seamlessly share global knowledge remains an important challenge for researchers. This brief examines several ideas about the representation of knowledge addressing this challenge. A widespread general agreement is followed that states uniform knowledge representation should be achievable by using ontologies populated with concepts. A separate chapter is dedicated to each of the three introduced topics, following a uniform outline: definition, organization, and use. This brief is intended for those who want to get to kno
