A Systematic Mapping with Bibliometric Analysis on Information Systems Using Ontology and Fuzzy Logic

Abstract

The ontology-based information systems (IS) development is beneficial for analyzing, conceptual modeling, designing, and re-engineering complex IS to be semantically enriched and suitable for sophisticated reasoning on the IS content. On the other hand, fuzzy theory employment to handle uncertainty and fuzziness in IS becomes a hot topic in different practical domains, such as engineering, IS, computer sciences, etc. As such, ontology- and fuzzy-based IS are being developed. Consequently, there is a need to provide a comprehensive systematic mapping study (SMS) to build a structure on the ontology- and fuzzy-based IS field of interest and to grasp the main ideas. This paper presents findings of SMS, based on the papers extracted from Web of Science and Scopus and employing a bibliometric analysis tool to automate keyword mapping. We conclude this paper by summarizing the previous work and identifying possible research trends, which future investigations can extend. The main finding indicates that ontology and fuzzy logic contribute to ISs by expanding traditional IS to be intelligent IS, which is applicable for solving complex, fuzzy, and semantically rich (ontological) information collection, saving, processing, sharing, and reasoning in different application domains according to users’ needs in various countries.

Political Discourse and Translation Studies. A Bibliometric Analysis in International Core Journals

“…While the PRISMA guidelines are followed in most systematic literature review, recent studies have begun to integrate analysis software and visualization tools to synthesize the reviewed literature (Almasri et al, 2021; Kalibatiene & Miliauskaitė, 2021; Petersen et al, 2015; Zupic & Čater, 2015). Based on the PRISMA guides developed by (Moher et al, 2009), Almasri et al (2021) develops a new guiding procedure integrating the PRISMA guidelines into the bibliometric standard workflow and using Biblioshiny, VOSviewer, and NVIVO software as tools.…”

Audit-Based Energy Performance Analysis of Multifamily Buildings in South-East Poland

“…As technical input parameters there are defined geometric dimensions and thermal and physical properties of partitions and systems. To visually present the performed literature review a visual map was generated (Figure 1) with the help of VOSviewer software [48,49]. This map shows the connections between keywords in analysed papers.…”

Using Rough Set Theory for Reasoning on Vague Ontologies

“…The findings of SMS were presented in [28], which were based on publications retrieved from Web of Science and Scopus and automated keyword mapping using a bibliometric analysis tool. The main finding indicates that ontology and fuzzy logic contribute to ISs by expanding traditional IS to become intelligent IS, which can be used to solve complex, fuzzy, and semantically rich (ontological) information collection, saving, processing, sharing, and reasoning in a variety of application domains based on user needs in different countries.…”
