Abstract
This paper describes the interdisciplinary problems of group ontology design. It highlights the importance of studying individual features of cognitive style and their influence on the specifics of collaborative group ontology design and development. The paper describes the preliminary results of the research project focused on working out a new paradigm for structuring data and knowledge with respect to individual cognitive styles, using recent advances in knowledge engineering and conceptual structuring, aimed at creating new consistent and structurally holistic knowledge bases for various domains. The results of this research effort can be applied to organizing the group ontology design (especially for learning purposes), data structuring and other collaborative analytical work.
