Abstract

From the interdisciplinary connections between the Information Science and Computer Science; and, in order to demonstrate the interrelation between thesauri and ontologies, this research comprises a discussion of the literature about the basic principles that guide the development of ontologies and of the main theoretical aspects identified in the construction of thesauri that can be used to develop computer ontologies. It was concluded that thesauri can contribute to the development of ontologies both with theorical approaches and by (re)using their hierarchical, equivalence and associative relations.
