6SciFiOnto: Modeling, Visualization and Evaluation of Science Fiction Ontologies Based on Indian Contextualization with Automatic Knowledge Acquisition

There is a need for knowledge synthesis for science fiction as an independent domain, owing to its omnipotent nature of being socio-technical, scientific and exhibiting a perspective of humanities and culture within it. In this chapter, an ontology for science fiction has been modeled, considering the vocabulary of terms based on an extensive survey conducted by subjects who were either Generation Z or millennials. The ontology has been an extension to the existing science fiction ontology and has a regulatory mechanism to increase the number of concepts and individuals. Several classifications and terms have been added, with a specific focus on the Indian context. The proposed ontology model is quite rich in its population of terms and is the only ontology that unifies science fiction in the Indian context to the vocabularies of the existing science fiction ontology. Automatic Knowledge Base Generation is quite important and is a prerequisite for several information systems in the current era, where most of the applications are knowledge centered. The availability of an extensive amount of data and the non-availability of knowledge make reasoning and inferencing quite cumbersome for information systems. Knowledge representation and reasoning is essential as symbolic artificial intelligence and collective artificial intelligence ...
