He holds a master’s degree in information science and a teaching degree in visual and technological education. His current research topic is the ontological approach in knowledge organization. Mauricio B. Almeida, PhD, is currently Associate Professor of the Graduate Program in Knowledge Organization & Management at the School of Information Science, Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil. He is a visiting fellow at the State University of New York at Buffalo, US, and still collaborates with the Ontology Research Group working with ontologies, knowledge representation, knowledge organization and information systems. Renato Rocha Souza is Visiting Researcher at the Austrian Academy of Science, Professor and Researcher at Funda- ção Getúlio Vargas (FGV), Brazil, and Collaborator Professor at the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), Brazil. He is a visiting fellow at the University of Glamorgan, UK and is a senior visiting scholar at Co- lumbia University. His main research topics include knowledge organization systems, natural language processing and machine learning. Machado, Luís Miguel, Mauricio B.

DOI:10.5771/0943-7444-2020-3-199. Abstract: Traditionally connected to philosophy, the term ontology is increasingly related to information systems areas. Some researchers consider the approaches of the two disciplinary contexts to be completely different. Others consider that, although different, they should talk to each other, as both seek to answer similar questions. With the extensive literature on this topic, we intend to contribute to the understanding of the use of the term ontology in current research and which references support this use. An exploratory study was developed with a mixed method- ology and a sample collected from the Web of Science of articles published in 2018. The results show the current prevalence of computer science in studies related to ontology and also of Gruber's view suggesting ontology as kind of conceptualization, a dominant view in that field. Some researchers, particularly in the field of biomedicine, do not
