The internet, Online Social Networks (OSNs) and smart phones enable users to create tremendous amount of information. Users who search for general or specific knowledge may not have these days problems of information scarce but misinformation. Misinformation nowadays can refer to a continuous spectrum between what can be seen as "facts" or "truth", if humans agree on the existence of such, to false information that everyone agree that it is false. In this paper, we will look at this spectrum of information/misinformation and compare between some of the major relevant concepts. While few fact-checking websites exist to evaluate news articles or some of the popular claims people exchange, nonetheless this can be seen as a little effort in the mission to tag online information with their "proper" category or label.

在线社交网络中错误信息的本体分析

互联网，在线社交网络（OSN）和智能手机使用户能够创建大量信息。搜索一般或特定知识的用户如今可能不会遇到信息稀缺但信息错误的问题。如今，错误信息可以指的是在“事实”或“真相”之间的连续光谱，如果人类同意这种事实的存在，那就是每个人都同意它是错误的虚假信息。在本文中，我们将研究信息/错误信息的范围，并比较一些主要的相关概念。尽管几乎没有事实检查网站可以评估新闻报道或人们交流的一些流行说法，但是这可以看作是在为在线信息添加“适当”类别或标签标记这一任务上付出的一点努力。
