近年来领域本体的应用新进展

Review of Application of Domain Ontology from 2006 to 2008

近年来,领域本体的发展非常迅速,不仅得到了广泛的应用,在实际应用中也取得了积极的作用。通过查找ISI、Elsevier等数据库查询到,近两年来国外文献中涉及的领域本体,包括化学领域、生物领域(分为基因领域和生物医学领域)、地理学领域和其他领域,并选取其中有代表性的领域本体并对其应用及进展进行分析研究,总结出领域本体应用进展的特点:涉及学科领域广;更加专业化、针对性更强;涉及多个学科的领域本体增多。领域本体的建设发展将有力推动数字图书馆的进步。

In recent years, the domain ontology has developed quickly, and has been used in practical application widely and also made a positive role. Through searching ISI, Elsevier database, the author finds out that the domain ontology involved in foreign literatures in recently two years includes chemical field, biological field（into genetic field and biomedical field ）, geography and other fields. Through the analysis and research on the representative domain ontology, we could get the features of the application development of the domain ontology, such as wider disciplines; more specialized and targeted; more domain ontology of more disciplines. Therefore, the development of the domain ontology will effectively promote the progress of digital libraries.
