Mapa conceitual de uma ontologia de domínio do patrimônio imaterial brasileiro: um percurso pelos caminhos de Peirce, Dahlberg e Novak.

Abstract

Research in the Graduate Program in Information Science UFPB around the construction of a conceptual map of a domain ontology. The mapping process relied on analysis of the domain, conducting surveys that involved issues ranging from determining the appropriate side view until the capture of terms and concepts contained in the sources of information about the analyzed field. The corpus of study selected is classified by the Instituto do Patrimônio Artístico Histórico Nacional IPHAN, as Intangible Heritage. Much more of a theoretical, research purposed to describe how the lifting of a given area must be driven from its aspect of knowledge representation and how is the establishment of relations between terms and concepts, preliminary step in the development of ontologies and domain central objective of this work. No attempt to develop an ontology in the context of artificial intelligence, computational logic through, and even develop a new methodology, but the rescue and application of methods has long worked for CI today and the technologies needed for representation and retrieval of information, focusing on the Core Principles for Domains Modeling (CAMPOS, 2004). Reasoned from the strong interdisciplinary character of CI, the proposal was to map the area within the cutout area of the Intangible Heritage, through methodological triangulation, identifying the representations of signs that exist in information processes and representational knowledge based on analysis Semiotics (PEIRCE , 1977), Theory of the Concept of Dahlberg (1976) and graphical representation of conceptual maps (Novak,1995).
