Abstract
This work presents the MarketPlace Agent and Expert Ontology (MAEO), an ontology for modeling experts, expertise, and more broadly, knowledge providers and knowledge seekers for the subject areas of Materials Modeling. MAEO had its inception within the “MarketPlace” European project, whose purpose is to bring about a single entry point for gathering scientific and industrial stakeholders in Materials Modeling. As such, this project aimed to build an online platform where experts and knowledge providers can be searched, found and brought into contact with users, or knowledge seekers, and with one another. MAEO was developed in order to fulfill the requirements of this online platform and thus support it, but is also part of a wider ecosystem of Materials Modeling-related ontologies, at whose core lies the Elementary Multiperspective Material Ontology (EMMO). MAEO is thus an EMMO-compliant application ontology, and has been loosely aligned with a number of existing ontologies, including Friend-Of-A-Friend (FOAF) and five recently-developed EMMO-based domain ontologies for the classification of materials, models, manufacturing processes, characterization methods and software products related to Materials Modeling. Here, a detailed description of the axiomatization of MAEO and its interconnected ontologies is provided, along with results coming from its deployment and experimentation in a StarDog triplestore. Availability. The axiomatization of the ontology is stored in a GitHub repository available at: https://github.com/emmo-repo/MAEO-Ontology, and is published at the following URL: http://emmo.info/emmo/application/maeo/experts.

期刊介绍:
Applied Ontology focuses on information content in its broadest sense. As the subtitle makes clear, two broad kinds of content-based research activities are envisioned: ontological analysis and conceptual modeling. The former includes any attempt to investigate the nature and structure of a domain of interest using rigorous philosophical or logical tools; the latter concerns the cognitive and linguistic structures we use to model the world, as well as the various analysis tools and methodologies we adopt for producing useful computational models, such as information systems schemes or knowledge structures. Applied Ontology is the first journal with explicit and exclusive focus on ontological analysis and conceptual modeling under an interdisciplinary view. It aims to establish a unique niche in the realm of scientific journals by carefully avoiding unnecessary duplication with discipline-oriented journals. For this reason, authors will be encouraged to use language that will be intelligible also to those outside their specific sector of expertise, and the review process will be tailored to this end. For example, authors of theoretical contributions will be encouraged to show the relevance of their theory for applications, while authors of more technological papers will be encouraged to show the relevance of a well-founded theoretical perspective. Moreover, the journal will publish papers focusing on representation languages or algorithms only where these address relevant content issues, whether at the level of practical application or of theoretical understanding. Similarly, it will publish descriptions of tools or implemented systems only where a contribution to the practice of ontological analysis and conceptual modeling is clearly established.
