We discuss recent progress in the development of cognitive ontologies and summarize three challenges in the coordinated development and application of these resources. Challenge 1 is to adopt a standardized definition for cognitive processes. We describe three possibilities and recommend one that is consistent with the standard view in cognitive and biomedical sciences. Challenge 2 is harmonization. Gaps and conflicts in representation must be resolved so that these resources can be combined for mark-up and interpretation of multi-modal data. Finally, Challenge 3 is to test the utility of these resources for large-scale annotation of data, search and query, and knowledge discovery and integration. As term definitions are tested and revised, harmonization should enable coordinated updates across ontologies. However, the true test of these definitions will be in their community-wide adoption which will test whether they support valid inferences about psychological and neuroscientific data.
我们讨论了认知本体论发展的最新进展,并总结了这些资源协调发展和应用所面临的三个挑战。挑战 1 是采用认知过程的标准化定义。我们描述了三种可能性,并推荐了一种与认知和生物医学科学中的标准观点一致的可能性。挑战 2 是协调一致。必须解决表示法中的差距和冲突,以便可以将这些资源组合起来,对多模态数据进行标记和解释。最后,挑战 3 是测试这些资源用于大规模数据注释、搜索和查询以及知识发现和整合的效用。随着术语定义的测试和修订,协调一致应该能够实现本体之间的协调更新。然而,这些定义的真正考验将是它们在社区中的广泛采用,这将检验它们是否支持关于心理和神经科学数据的有效推断。
