摘要：This paper presents a way of conceptualising informatization through a new methodology that is called Onto6. Informatization is defined as the maintained process of creating the technical, economic, and social conditions which are necessary for the fulfilment of information needs. The Onto6 methodology identifies objects and determines their interaction and functionality. The methodology is based on meta-ontology, and it involves the creation of an instance in accordance with the domain. The initial ontology is created from the ontology instance, and it is extended during the informatization. In the initial ontology, root metaphors and the relationship among same must be defined by the planner of informatization. More work is being done by the implementers of informatization to refine the initial ontology. This creates an ontology cluster which consists of meta-ontology, a meta- ontology instance, the initial ontology, and the refinements of that ontology. This reflects a conceptualisation of informatization in a particular domain. The author has taken part in the conceptualisation and maintenance of informatization in several domains. The Onto6 methodology that is proposed in this paper has been applied to several domains at the national level.
