Methodology for the development of ontologies for thematic intelligent scientific internet resources

The paper presents the methodology used to develop ontologies for thematic intelligent scientific Internet resources (ISIR). ISIR provide content-based access to systematized scientific knowledge and information resources of a certain field of knowledge, as well as to the information processing and analysis facilities related to this field. Ontology is used in ISIR not only to formalize, describe and systematize heterogeneous knowledge and resources, but also to organize convenient access to them. Building ontologies that have these properties is a very complex and time-consuming process. To facilitate it, we have proposed a methodology that includes a set of techniques and patterns of ontology development, as well as an original method for constructing the ontology of the thematic ISIR on the basis of a representative set of base ontologies. The application of this methodology is demonstrated on the example of developing ontology for the ISIR on decision support.
