ONTOLOGICAL APPROACH TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NETWORK PROFESSIONAL RESOURCE OF THE TRANSPORT INDUSTRY

Abstract

The problems of modeling complex systems are considered using the example of network professional information resource of transport industry. Some aspects, stages and principles of development of the network resource of transport industry and its various spheres are analyzed. The main requirements for modeling the content of the network professional resource for solving a wide range of theoretical and practical problems of the national transport industry and its individual areas are defined. Modeling based on the ontological approach (analysis and appropriate classification of the elements of such model) was chosen as the way to solve the problems.

The ontological approach is based on the understanding of ontology as a universal form of knowledge presentation. Ontologies are an effective tool for modeling various subject areas, objects and information resources. Ontological modeling of the network professional resource of the transport industry will contribute to the solution of practical and theoretical problems due to the consideration of factors affecting different levels and components of the network resource.

Main provisions and tools for building the ontology of the network resource of the transport industry are presented to determine the conceptual ontological model of the subject area under consideration. The toolkit is the OWL ontology description language and ontology editor Protégé.

It was concluded that for the effective formation of a network resource, it is advisable to organize joint activities of all participants in the production, technological, informational, educational, infrastructure spheres of the transport industry based on an ontological approach, taking into account the specifics of each subject area of the transport industry; the network resource, thanks to complex and multifunctional content, will contribute to ensuring the competitiveness of transport in Ukraine and beyond; the developed multi-level ontology will contribute to terminological unification and speed up the search for answers to requests for the content of the network resource of the transport industry.
