English abstract

The number of papers written on ontologies has increased considerably over the last twenty years. This trend can be easily observed by searching words like “ontology” or “thesaurus” in databases. Despite this fact, there hasn’t been a consensus about the significance of this concept. The graphical representation known as ontology spectrum must have generated a lot of confusion amongst readers. In this paper we argue that this confusion is due to the mix of the various types of knowledge organization systems with distinct objectives in the same graphical representation. Thus, constructing a formal ontology for a system does not always presume an improvement, frequently it is adequate with less complex representations.

Spanish abstract

Los artículos sobre ontologías llevan casi veinte años de gran actualidad en la literatura profesional, como se puede comprobar haciendo búsquedas en bases de datos. A pesar de esto, sigue sin haber consenso sobre el significado de este concepto. Probablemente la representación gráfica conocida como el espectro de las ontologías ha generado cierta confusión en algunos lectores. Por ello tratamos de argumentar aquí el origen de esta confusión, que puede deberse a la mezcla de varios tipos de sistemas de organización del conocimiento, cuya distinta finalidad llevó a definirlos de diferente forma. De hecho, construir una ontología formal para un sistema no siempre supone una mejora y en muchas ocasiones es suficiente con una representación menos compleja.
