Abstract

Although ontologies as an important component are widely used for different purpose in different communities and a number of approaches have been reported for developing ontologies, few works have been done to clarify the concept of knowledge science as far as we know. This paper presents a novel attempt to create an ontology characterizing a research program "Technology Creation Based on Knowledge Science" from a Knowledge Science perspective. We address a combination of bottom-up and top-down approaches to ontology creation, which is a first time to put forward a perspective of combining explicit knowledge with tacit, intuitive and experiential knowledge for constructing an ontology. An example of application of this ontology, related to a software tool named adaptive hermeneutic agent (AHA), is also given in the paper.
