       Computational  ontologies refer to formal representation models
       that characterize domain concepts. These artifacts are relevant
       to shape the meanings of data in an explicit way for humans and
       machines.  The  study  of  socio-enactive  systems  demands the
       understanding of human actions and the adequate system response
       in  a  cyclical  interaction. Ontologies can play a key role in
       the  development of socio-enactive systems by providing meaning
       to  data  entering  and  leaving  the  systems.  However,  this 
       research  field  still  lacks thorough literature studies. This
       technical  report  presents  the results achieved by a research
       working   group   to   further  develop  methods  for  ontology 
       engineering  in  the  context  of  socio-enactive  systems.  We 
       present  a  literature review, technical solutions, in addition
       to  conceptual  and  practical outcomes. Our findings include a
       preliminary  modeling  of  concepts  involved in socio-enactive
       systems, and a software architecture that allows ontology-based
       interpretation of several types of data. This research has been
       developed  in  the  socio-enactive  systems project, a FAPESP’s
       thematic project (grant #2015/16528-0).
