The OADAPT Ontologies

The knowledge framework underpinning the approach.

Ontologies

Click on the figure or use the links below to explore each ontology in detail.
(This page provides an overview of all ontologies developed in OADAPT.)

Figure 01 shows the ontologies added to HCI-ON in this work (with red circles), namely: Context of Use Ontology (ContUsO), User Profile Ontology (UPO), UI Software Components Ontology (UISCO) and AUI System Ontology (AUISO). Like any ontology of HCI-ON, the new ontologies are grounded in UFO (Guizzardi, 2005). Moreover, by reusing HCIO concepts, they also connect to the Software Engineering Ontology Network (SEON) (Ruy et al., 2016) through relations with its core ontology System and Software Ontology (SysSwO) (Bringuente; Falbo; Guizzardi, 2011).
