The paper presents a method of creating an adaptive software system to help people with cognitive impairments, based on the use of an ontological model of the subject area.
The increased mobility of business processes today relies on extensive use of software and in turn puts high demands on the quality of software and its ability to be quickly and accurately adapted to the changes in the business environment. A promising approach to solving the problem of adapting the software to changes in its operational environment is the use of ontological modeling. In the article the theoretical principles of knowledge representation and processing in software based on ontological task models were developed. A formal model of knowledge representation was built.
