“…This was achieved by using the ontology to represent users' health conditions, domestic situations, and a variety of comfort indicators, thereby enabling the personalisation of the services provided to specific target users. Another study reported the significance of incorporating an ontology for medical decision support (Heyse et al, 2019 ). In this study, the authors designed an ontology for VR Exposure Therapy to enable a better service to the target patients and help improve relevant decision support systems.…”

Metaverse is now perceived as a celebrated future version of the internet. In this new anticipated virtual universe, interconnected digital platforms leveraged by augmented, extended, and virtual realities will elevate users' immersive experiences through multidimensional interactions. In particular, users will be offered a broad spectrum of digital activities within a newly immersive setting mediated by technology. This study aims to design a domain ontology (MetaOntology) for the metaverse to provide an explicit specification of relevant state-of-the-art technologies and infrastructure. A four-step methodological approach is followed to construct the designated ontology. Due to the immaturity of the metaverse, MetaOntology is not intended to furnish a complete outlook on the domain, rather it aims to establish a cornerstone so as to facilitate future efforts in building extant versions of this ontology considering the evolvement of relevant technologies.

“…Therefore, to have the lens of DSR into ontology design is a fruitful idea. 61,71,72 As a result, Ahmad et al 57 recommended a new methodology that can be flexible and generic. In the method, ontology development methodology is rooted in DSRM according to DSRM's design and development, demonstration, evaluation, and communication activities.…”

Even though ontology and virtual reality training (VRT) are subjects that have been explored in various areas over the years, there is an absence of a systematic approach that gives an overview on how both have been utilized together. We aim to explore how ontologies have been applied in VRT technology in recent times. Therefore, the systematic literature review methodology was carried out to collect studies between 2014 and 2021 from various databases. To summarize, the main findings of this research are as follows: (1) the majority of the studies concerns two roles, i.e., either capturing and structuring knowledge or separating domain knowledge and operational knowledge; (2) all ontologies apply deficient foundational ontologies, languages, and methodologies when developing ontologies for VRT; (3) there is a general lack of capturing perdurant knowledge in ontology design; and (4) there are key design elements that are considered crucial for designing an ontology for VRT. Further directions have been provided to contribute to the body of knowledge by recommending the right design elements that could produce idealistic and ubiquitous ontologies to facilitate VRT development throughout its life cycle.

“…The ontology based system was evaluated using a within-subject experiment in order to confirm the performance of the ontology in helping patients to recollect their lost memories. www.ijacsa.thesai.org 3) Ontology for VR exposure therapy (VRET): In this project [17], semantic ontology was designed with the purpose to model the necessary knowledge (e.g., concepts and relation) in a way to represent the domain of anxiety therapy in VE. The aim of the designed ontology was also to provide semantic reasoning in order to deduce essential knowledge from low-level data in VRET.…”

The size of learning content continually challenges education and training providers. A recent advanced technology called Virtual Reality (VR) has emerged as a promising choice to facilitate knowledge acquisition and skill transfer in a variety of sectors. The main challenge in this technology is the increasing costs, time, effort, and resources needed for designing Virtual Reality based Training (VRT) applications as educational content.To fill such gaps, ontology approach was introduced to support VR development. Therefore, this review has the objective of investigating on how ontologies have been applied throughout the life cycle of a VR development process. Accordingly, articles from the year 2015 onwards have been explored. Findings show that VR developers do not incorporate ontology in all phases of the lifecycle of VR methodology, but only cover some phases like creation and implementation. Creating novel solutions without a complete methodology results in a long development process and an ineffective product. This could consequently raise high dangers in real life, especially when VRT is for fields containing trivial details that are vital for saving lives such as healthcare. This research thus presents a proposal of methodological guidance on designing VR applications with the use of an ontology approach throughout all the life cycles of VR construction.
