1 | 12 | The PIM-Ontology is used to represent the personal mental model of the user. Places, people, times, projects or other subjects of interest are part of the mental model of a person, the PimOntology allows the user to enter these now into the system, when needed. We do not want to capture all mental activity, an unnecessary task, and instead focus on those concepts that are there anyway: today we find them in a tag, foldername, file-name, bookmark name, etc. The technique behind the PIM-Ontology is comparable to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topic_map Topic Maps] standard or to the [http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/ SKOS Ontology]. |
