Abstract

Ontology is built to establish a classification and conceptualization in knowledge disciplines. With the support of ontology technologies, users can retrieve information in a semantic manner. A primary course of ontology building is concepts development. Typical concept constructing approaches are usually consulting experts or analyzing documents. However, ontology-based systems usually do not allowed user involvement during developing ontology. To acquire expertise from users, this study utilizes Kansei Engineering to translate human emotions such as perception, feeling, or impression of things into the design elements of ontology concepts. The new design ontology then depends upon user-centric conceptual structure. This study particularly interests in archiving photos by employing ontology with user involvement. Empirical lessons show user involvement can reduce the gap in defining concepts between experts and users.
