English abstract

Objective: This paper discusses the role of vocabularies in addressing the issues associated with Big Data. Methodology: The materials used are definitions of Big Data found in literature, standards, and technologies used in the Semantic Web and Linked Open Data, as well as the use case of a research dataset; we use the conceptual bases of semiotics and ontology to analyze the role of vocabularies in knowledge organization (KO) in assigning subjects to documents as a special, limited, use case that may be expanded within such context. Results: We develop and expand the conception of data as an artificial, intentional construction that represents a property of an entity within a specific domain and serving as the essential component of the Big Data. We present a comprehensive conceptualization of semantic expressivity and use it to classify the different vocabularies. We suggest and specify features to vocabularies that may be used within the context of the Semantic Web and the Linked Open Data to assign machine-processable semantics to Big Data. We identify computational ontologies as a type of knowledge organization system with a higher degree of semantic expressivity. It is suggested that such themes should be incorporated into professional qualifications in KO.
