Abstract

Purpose:  The development of ontoterminology of women in Thai literature was the main objective of this study.

Methodology:  This R & D (research and development) study analyzed and developed ontoterminology of women by extracting the vocabulary from 23 Thai Literature in the Ayutthaya period.

Findings:  A total of 340 women-related words were extracted, including 154 repetitive words, and 186 remaining terms which were later used for developing this ontoterminology using Protégé 5.5.0.  It comprised 4 main concepts:  character concepts, character attributes, characters, and literary works.  The character concepts included TermMeaning, TextDescription, LiteratureVolume, LiteratureName, LiteraturePage, and the character concepts relationship which comprised LiteratureName, CharacteristicOf, OwnerSpeech, PhysicalCharacteristic, and SpecialCharacteristic.  Instances of 186 words for women were also provided in the individuals of the character concepts.  The overall assessment of a search on ontoterminology on the worldwide web through the WIDOCO program was found to be as appropriate as Ⴟ = 3.13 and S.D. = 0,14.

Applications of the study:  An integration of library and information sciences with the digital humanities for knowledge expansion through the use of appropriate tools and approaches can generate new innovation and fulfill the existing knowledge, which can be of great value in the digital environments and future knowledge expansion.
