Abstract
Aplicações de dados abertos ligados (LOD) têm se constituído em poderoso instrumento para divulgar e revelar fatos não antecipados e de interesse social, na medida em que permitem cruzar dados contextualizados, de naturezas diversas e afins, criando uma rede de informação em potencial, de acesso livre e aberto. Nesse cenário, ontologias atuam como um mecanismo conceitual que dará suporte à consistência dessa rede de ligações entre dados contextualizados disponibilizando-os de forma mais precisa a aplicações computacionais. O objetivo desse trabalho é apresentar uma aplicação de dados abertos ligados como prova de conceito, apoiada pelo uso de uma ontologia, para a representação e análise dos fatos relatados sobre experiências de projeção da consciência. A fundamentação teórico-metodológica parte de: levantamento na literatura sobre ontologias relacionadas a experimentos científicos; levantamento na neociência da Projeciologia sobre o fenômeno da projeção da consciência; elaboração da ontologia com base em contribuições da Ciência da Informação, Ciência da Computação e da Ontologia Formal; análise de vinte relatos sobre experiências de projeção da consciência, de modo a representá-los com a ontologia proposta e explorá-los com a aplicação de LOD. Esse exemplo de aplicação permitiu evidenciar possíveis interligações não antecipadas com a Dbpedia, bem como responder a uma série de questões com base na ontologia. Como conclusão, são apontadas evidências da importância do uso de ontologias como uma forma de apoiar aplicações de dados interligados abertos, em especial em domínios onde relatos textuais livres são a fonte primária de informação e onde as pesquisas ainda são recentes e sendo amadurecidas pelas comunidades interessadas. No caso do domínio alvo, ainda, a possibilidade de disponibilizar dados abertos que podem ser livremente pesquisados e cruzados é uma contribuição para que a sociedade tenha acesso a mecanismos que podem ajudar na divulgação e compreensão do fenômeno da projeção da consciência.
Linked open data (LOD) applications have been a powerful tool to disseminate and reveal unanticipated events of social interest, as they allow to cross contextualized and diverse data, creating a potential information network with free and open access. In this scenario, ontologies act as a conceptual mechanism that will support the consistency of this network of connections between contextualized data, making them available in a more accurately way to computer applications. The aim of this paper is to present an open linked data application as proof of concept, supported by the use of an ontology for the representation and analysis of the reported facts about consciousness projection experiences. The theoretical-methodological foundation part of: survey the literature on ontologies related to scientific experiments; survey in neoscience projectiology on the projection of consciousness phenomenon; development of na ontology based on contributions of Information Science, Computer Science and Formal Ontology; analysis of twenty reports of projection experiences of consciousness in order to represent them with the ontology proposed and exploit them with the LOD application. This sample application has highlighted possible unanticipated interconnections with DBPedia and answer a series of questions based on the proposed ontology. In conclusion, evidence has pointed out the importance of using ontologies as a way to support open linked data applications, particularly in areas where free text reports are the primary source of information and where research is still recent and being matured by the interested communities. In the target domain there is also the possibility of providing open data that can be freely searched and crossed with other data. This is a contribution that can help in the dissemination and understanding of the projection of consciousness phenomenon by society.
