【 摘 要 】

Normal 0 21 false false false PT-BR X-NONE X-NONEOntologies have become the subject of ever increasing interest in several areas. Beyond its philosophical roots, it has been used broadly in research fields related to systems development. Within the scope of automated information systems, the use of ontology has two main goals: it can be used as a component of a system or as a reference. This reference is a kind of comparison standard employed to evaluate the capacity of the model underpinning the system to represent the world. The present article explores the latter application, discussing the usefulness of ontologies in conceptual modeling processes. After the contextualization of the research and of some problems related to conceptual modeling of information systems, we present ontologies used as references, in addition to related initiatives. We discuss the relevance of this subject with regards to Information Science, interfaces and the potential for interdisciplinary research. We conclude by highlighting the importance of the Information Science disciplines in addressing issues related to deficient modeling and to lack of systems integration. We hope to contribute to the interchange between different areas, as well as suggest new perspectives for the work of Information Science professionals.
