Change of the Concepts of Knowledge: a Glimpse at the Necessity of the Development of Ontologies

Abstract

The enormous amount of knowledge needs sophisticated tools for searching and, often considered as equally important, rationalization. Ontology is one approach for addressing such challenges. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of of the change of ontologies. Due to change in concepts, it is necessary to review the structure of ontologies and tools for organizing this knowledge. Ontologies need to change as fast as the parts of the world they describe. The study reviewed all of the literature, concepts, principles and rules about ontologies. Thus, this research is descriptive and analytical. As a result, a logical architecture was introduced to support the development of ontologies. The low-effort of users in digital libraries and support for change management, are very important for ontologies that should be considered by experts in designing and developing ontologies.
