Computing Ontology
Part II
So far,
• We have seen the history of the ACM
computing classification system
– What have you observed?
– What topics from CS2013 have you not been able
to find in the 2012 CCS?
Another approach
• The Computing Ontology project
– Funded by NSF 2003
– Goal to document the entirety of the computing
disciplines
– Make it useful for research classification, but also for
curriculum development.

Status
• Work suspended during the ACM CCS update
effort
• Recently – comparing to CCS 2012
• To do – compare to CS 2013
Overview
• A different approach; a work in progress
• Broader categories at the top level
– Look at the context for each topic
– Cluster things according to their context
• Spreadsheet color codes

Yellow: only in our ontology
Blue: only in ACM CCS
Grey: modified ontology to match CCS
Green: in both without need to modify either

How does CS 2013 fit?
• Repeat the exercise of Monday, but map CS
2013 topics to this taxonomy
