Abstract
In our work the traditional bipartite model of ontologies is extended with the social dimension, leading to a tripartite model of actors, concepts and instances.We demonstrate the application of this representation by showing how community-based semantics emerges from this model through a process of graph transformation. We illustrate ontology emergence by two case studies, an analysis of a large scale folksonomy system and a novel method for the extraction of community-based ontologies from Web pages.

It is argued in this paper that so-called ontologies present their own methodo- logical and architectural peculiarities: on the methodological side, their main peculiarity is the adoption of a highly interdisciplinary approach, while on the architectural side the most interesting aspect is the centrality of the role they can play in an information system, leading to the perspective of ontology-driven information systems.

This paper presents an ontology for the representation of social networks and relationships, a hybrid system for online data acquisition that combines traditional web mining techniques with the collection of Semantic Web data, and a case study highlighting some of the possible analysis of this data using methods from Social Network Analysis.

31 Citations2004Peter Mika, Hans Akkermans
This paper provides a synthesis of ontology research and one of its most significant application areas, the business discipline of Knowledge Management (KM), and warns of the danger that mainstream KM will remain neutral to ontologies, while research develops as a largely unguided exploration.
