The Computer Science Ontology Portal (also referred to simply as CSO Portal) is a web application that enables users to download, explore, and provide granular feedback on CSO at different levels. This last feature allows us to periodically review the status ontology and release new version according to the received feedbacks.
A user can explore the ontology in an interactive manner by clicking on a topic, viewing the information associated with it, and then following on to the next topic. In addition, users can download the ontology and import it in their own triple-store and then creating new applications based on it.
Registered users will be able to see different menus, where they can provide different kinds of feedbacks: ontology level, topic level, relationship level and also suggest new relationships.
Finally, there is the editorial board who aim at producing a new version of the ontology.
We submitted a paper at the 17th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2018) Resource Track, describing both the Computer Science Ontology and the portal described here.
The portal is available at this link: https://cso.kmi.open.ac.uk.
We look forward to receive feedbacks from you.

The Computer Science Ontology: A Large-Scale Taxonomy of Research AreasOntologies of research areas are important tools for characterising, exploring, and analysing the research landscape. Some fields of research are comprehensively described by large-scale taxonomies, e.g., MeSH in Biology and PhySH in Physics. Conversely, current Computer Science taxonomies are coarse-grained and tend to evolve slowly. For instance, the ACM classification scheme contains only about 2K research topics and the last version dates back to 2012.…

Computer Science OntologyThe Computer Science Ontology is a large-scale ontology of research areas that was automatically generated using the Klink-2 algorithm on a dataset of about 16 million publications, mainly in the field of Computer Science. In the rest of the paper, we will refer to this corpus as the Rexplore dataset. The current version of CSO includes 14,164 topics and 162,121 semantic relationships. The main root…
