Abstract

The paper presents the main results of research performed within the KOMET (Knowledge and cOntent structuring via METhods of collaborative ontology design) project that was aimed at developing a novel paradigm for knowledge structuring. By knowledge structure we define the main domain concepts and relations between them in a form of graph, map or diagram. Knowledge structures represent conceptual models. This approach considers individual cognitive styles and uses recent advances in knowledge engineering and conceptual structuring; it aims at creating new consistent and structurally holistic knowledge bases for various areas of science and technology. Research into correlations between the expert’s individual cognitive style and the peculiarities of expert’s subject domain ontology development has been completed. Implications for practice are briefly delineated.
