Proposta de uma ontologia como modelo de referência no domínio da Memória Organizacional Histórica

Abstract

The Historical Organizational Memory consists of the main documents that register the trajectory of an institution. The ontologies aim to make sense of the content of these repositories, using the semantic relationship of the terms that can represent the area. This work establishes the basis for proposing an ontology that serves as a reference model in the Historical Memory Organization field, promoting accurate responses from search engines and information retrieval. The universe of this research is represented by companies participating in the Permanent Forum on Knowledge Management, Communication and Memory of the Brazilian Association of Business Communication (ABERJE), which already have initiatives in Historical Organizational Memory (HOM). It identifies, among other things, whether companies use a standardized instrument of information representation, such as controlled vocabularies, taxonomies and thesauri. We used the exploratory research, interviews with data collection, followed by content analysis and description of the results. It is intended that this ontology will serve as a reference model for Historical Organizational Memory projects, which can be extended by domain experts from the declared and interrelated concepts in this proposal: types of documents, collections, subjects covered by the items, the target audience and information dissemination channels.
