Abstract

The adoption of a consistent terminoloy is an important step to consolidate and to develop a scientific field. Moreover, an area in progress as is Information Science could benefit from a conceptualization adopted in consensus by the scientific community. In an attempt to collaborate to the consolidation of such process and, moreover, seeking to fulfill the gap left by the absence of vocabularies specific to the area in Brazil, researchers and students from two research and education Information Science institutions of Minas Gerais, both the Information Science School of UFMG and Computing Institute of PUCMinas, have been developing the POIS (Portuguese Ontology in Information Science) Project. The goal of this paper is to provide an overview of the project and to report for the academic community on its execution, moreover to present information about the resources used, about the experiences in its execution and about the research concerning ontologies executed in its scope.
