An Ontology-based Approach to Collaborative Development of Domain Information Space

This paper is devoted to a problem of creating the domain information space for the purpose of further information retrieval and reuse in different subject domains. We propose an ontology-based approach to collaborative development of the domain information space using the personal human cognitive spaces. In framework of the proposed approach the information space ontology is constructed and the algorithm for generation of domain information space is developed on the base of personal cognitive spaces using reasoning on ontology. The application of the proposed approach is illustrated by the example of the information space construction for subject domain of programming languages.
