Abstract
Different disciplines have been studying human memory and related issues for thousands of years. However, the definitions of the concepts relating to memory vary depending on the discipline or theory. In order to conciliate these variations and ambiguities, a solution is to formally define the concepts studied through ontologies. This talk presents Mem'Onto, a Memory Ontology which gather concepts related to memory, based on the Tulving's SPI model. This theory corresponds to a model of memory organisation and brings together various central elements of memory according to Tulving, whether in Memory Systems (e.g. Episodic Memory, Semantic Memory, Procedural Memory), in Mnesic Processes (e.g. Encoding, Storage, Retrieval) or in the level of consciousness of these subsystems during Retrieval (Implicit and Explicit). Mem'Onto is adapted from an existing ontology, CoTOn, a Cognitive Theory Ontology designed from a working memory use case.
