A Survey on Usage of Ontology in Different Domain

Abstract

A survey has been presented on the usage of ontology in various domains like Medical, Agriculture, Geosciences, Education, Marine, Communication, Computer, Chemical, Defence, Linguistic etc. A summary of the available ontology developed in various domains is given and no attempt has been made to evaluate them. Only a broad picture of ontology applications in various domains practiced today are described. In some cases details like number of concepts, relationship, classes and subclasses defined are also given. The survey indicated that considerable effort has gone in the development of ontology in the domains of medical, education, computer science. It is noted that rather limited effort has gone into the development of ontology in the domains of power plants and atomic energy.

SAAONT: Ontological knowledge-based development to support intelligent decision-making systems for Saudi Arabian agriculture

“…OntoSim-Sugarcane (Beck et al, 2010;Meenachi and Baba, 2012): This is an ontology-based application representing southern Florida organic sugarcane production, in terms of (1) soil moisture;…”

“…It has thus been subject to considerable debate, primarily concerning its implementation (Ukpe, 2013). Ontologies have been reported as beneficial for many domains, including (1) healthcare; (2) smart cities; (3) financial markets; and (4) agriculture (Meenachi and Baba, 2012). This has prompted a global tend focusing on the establishment and development of ontologies for the agricultural sector (Roussey et al, 2010).…”

Web Ontology Language Editors for Semantic Web- A Survey

“…At our Centre we have initiated a program to develop ontology in the nuclear energy domain. Having made a survey of development of ontology in various domains [2], we report in this paper, a survey of web ontology language editors utilized for semantic web development. The need for knowledge preservation and representation is briefly described.…”
