Modelos de mapeamento propostos na norma ISO 25964: desafios para a consolidação de redes metaconceituais

Abstract

Mapping is the process by which relations are established between concepts belonging to different conceptual frameworks. This notion is fundamental to the study of semantic interoperability in the context of Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS). This article analyzes the contents of the ISO 25964 standard based on the following question: what is the interoperability to be achieved from the proposed mapping contained in ISO 25964? Objective is thus to describe, analyze and discuss the interoperability proposals present in the ISO 25964 standard and derived from it. Are adopted as methodological procedures: a literature review and a critical analysis of the document. Are shown and described: a) the structural unit model; b) the direct-linked model, and c) the hub structure model. It appears that the standard addresses how to establish the mappings but ignores the consensus that motivates them. It is considered to be given equal attention to agreement and remodeling of the consensus assumptions of the guarantees which are the principles used in the building and evaluation of SOCs. The notion of semantic interoperability is sufficiently broad and open in terms of new research to be able to incorporate the research into the ways of interconnection between the SOCs that exceed the top down logic that characterizes the proposed mapping described in the standard. It follows that understanding and application of the models of mapping show promise for the empirical field of information and knowledge organization from the perception that the development of meta-conceptual networks will be increasingly demanded in the future scenario, however, observed that the monitoring of generating instances of consensus is a fundamental condition for semantic interoperability becomes effective as this approach contributes to the definition of mechanisms needed to establish the connections between KOS.
