Study of Sociocultural Ontology

摘要

In this paper, we propose a process of sociocultural ontology development to popularize and perpetuate the culture of a country through a sharing of customs and history of different localities. It can be compared with the construction of a platform that would be straddled between "corporate memory" and a "social network", but applied in the context of a country. This process is based on the theory of Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky called "Vygotskian Framework". This process allowed us to model our ontology in three axes - Community, Artefact and Infrastructure -, which allowed us to have two levels of social network analysis. An intra-community level allows us to have knowledge within a community and inter-community level, through our index of "similarity of interest," allows us to form clusters of our network.
