Abstract

Engineering interactive computer systems is a challenging task that involves concerns related to the human-computer interaction (HCI), such as usability and user experience. HCI is a wide domain, where ontologies are useful instruments for supporting knowledge-related problems. However, HCI ontologies have been built and used in isolation. Ideally, in wide domains, ontologies should not be stand-alone artifacts. They should relate to each other, forming a network of interlinked semantic resources, i.e. an ontology network. Therefore, in this paper we introduce HCI-ON, a Human-Computer Interaction Ontology Network composed of ontologies that we have developed and others found in the literature. HCI-ON organizes and integrates knowledge, serving as a basis to several applications. We also discuss mechanisms to evolve HCI-ON and present some envisioned applications.
