Abstract

From the different types of ontology models, terminological ontologies are intensively used by libraries, archives, museums and any other registry of information to facilitate the location of stored resources (classification and information retrieval). Historically, terminological models were printed and used as thematic indexes to locate associated resources. The development of new applications have translated them into the computers and made them to evolve quickly. They are domain or application models that contain the terminology required in an area of knowledge for a specific application and along the years, they have proven to be a useful tool to deal with ambiguity problems, providing inter-relation structure and semantics to the terminology used in these systems. Nowadays, there is a great deal of terminological models covering every area of interest and they have become a crucial part of the information retrieval systems of digital libraries, catalogues and any other system where information is searched or presented thematically.
