Abstract
The subject of this article is a new type of ontologies that can be used in digital management. The purpose of the study is to analyze the general application of ontologies and propose a new type of ontologies for use in digital management. This ontology is an information ontology. The research methodology includes a taxonomy of ontologies, a comparative analysis and justification for the introduction of a new type of ontologies - information ontologies. The scope of the research is modern information and intelligent management, including the field of digital management. The research methodology is based on modern trends in the digital transformation of management and the need to move to intelligent management. The basic foundation for constructing information ontologies are information relations in the information field and information modeling. The research methodology is also based on heuristic methods for constructing ontologies. The prospects for the research should be considered the development of the provisions of the article in the field of intelligent management and unmanned control. Currently, ontology can be used as an auxiliary technology for obtaining knowledge in management problems. So far, the use of ontologies in the field of management can be considered a type of decision support technology. In the future, in light of the development of the paper, the application of ontologies in the field of control will be the main technology, especially in the field of unmanned aerial and ground transport control.
