Emotion ontologies have been developed to capture affect, a concept that encompasses discrete emotions and feelings, especially for research on sentiment analysis, which analyzes a customer's attitude towards a company or a product. However, there have been limited efforts to adapt and employ these ontologies. This research surveys and synthesizes emotion ontology studies to develop a Framework of Emotion Ontologies that can be used to help a user select or design an appropriate emotion ontology to support sentiment analysis and increase the user's understanding of the roles of affect, context, and behavioral information with respect to sentiment. The framework, which is derived from research on emotion ontologies, psychology, and sentiment analysis, classifies emotion ontologies as discrete emotion or one of two hybrid ontologies that are combinations of the discrete, dimensional, or componential process emotion paradigms. To illustrate its usefulness, the framework is applied to the development of an emotion ontology for a sentiment analysis application.

情感本体已经被开发来捕捉情感，这是一个包含离散情感和感受的概念，特别是用于情感分析研究，它分析客户对公司或产品的态度。然而，适应和使用这些本体的努力有限。本研究调查和综合情感本体研究以开发情感本体框架可用于帮助用户选择或设计适当的情感本体，以支持情感分析并增加用户对情感、上下文和行为信息在情感方面的作用的理解。该框架源自对情绪本体、心理学和情绪分析的研究，将情绪本体分类为离散情绪或两种混合本体中的一种，这两种本体是离散、维度或成分过程情绪范式的组合。为了说明它的用处，该框架被应用于开发情感分析应用程序的情感本体。
