Very much a general question here, from a somewhat uneducated perspective.

I'm currently part way through an MSc in AI, and at the minute I am taking a module on Knowledge Engineering and Computational Creativity. The Prof taking the class obviously does research in this area and is saying that ontologies are becoming very important in the world of AI, or it may be more accurate to say he is suggesting they are becoming more important.

I intend to look into the work he does, and ask him a few questions, but generally I was wondering where this type of research sits in the world of AI. Is it something being worked on a lot? Is it becoming bigger?

I am interested because I do find the topic interesting, and I will have a research project coming up soon, and while I do want to work on an interesting topic, I also want to work on a relevant topic, so any information would be great.
