How to Design a Nuclear-Safety Ontology For Sharing Technical Knowledge over Communities

Abstract

Developing proper understanding of risks of nuclear technology over whole civil society is needed for addressingconsensus-building on a nuclear-energy issue. To share technical knowledge and common awareness of the risks, webportal sites such as "directory search sites" on the Internet must be helpful if its directory, "ontology" is elaborated forthe purpose. In this work we will profile the basis of an ontology of a civil-society organization by using atext-mining technique to compare their ontology with engineersﾁ one derived from an educational curriculum forengineers. Based on the comparison we will then propose an ontology-designing strategy for sharing technicalknowledge and common awareness within communities of civil society and engineers.
