Ontology or formal ontology? Which word is correct? The aim of this article is to introduce correct terms and explain their basis. Ontology describes a particular area of interest (domain) in a formal way - defines the classes of objects that are in that area, and relationships that may exist between them.

Proceedings of the 9th Workshop on Performance Metrics for Intelligent Systems, 2009
Ontologies can take many forms. There are ontologies that are extremely formal (e.g., using first order logic), and there are ontologies that are less formally defined (e.g., ontologies in the relational databases or dictionaries). Nonetheless, all of these can be considered ontologies and are appropriate in different situations.In this paper, I will ...

Ontological semantics, formal ontology, and ambiguity
Proceedings of the international conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems - Volume 2001, 2001Ontological semantics is a theory of meaning in natural language and an approach to natural language processing (NLP) which uses an ontology as the central resource for extracting and representing meaning of natural language texts, reasoning about knowledge derived from texts as well as generating natural language texts based on representations of ...

Formal Ontologies, Exemplars, Prototypes
2011The problem of concept representation is relevant for knowledge engineering and for ontology-based technologies. However, the notion of concept itself turns out to be highly disputed and problematic in cognitive science. In our opinion, one of the causes of this state of affairs is that the notion of concept is in some sense heterogeneous, and ...

Formalisms for ontology validation
2007 International Conference on Industrial and Information Systems, 2007Ontology and its inferencing capabilities are critical for the modern semantic Web. Ontology validation is necessary due to the uncertainty of the description logic based inferences. Ontology validation should be independent of DL reasoners. To overcome this uncertainty of concepts and instances inference results, in this paper we describes some of the

Topoi, 1983
The discussions which follow rest on a distinction, first expounded by Husserl, between formal logic and formal ontology. The former concerns itself with (formal) meaning-structures; the latter with formal structures amongst objects and their parts.

Husserl's conception of formal ontology
History and Philosophy of Logic, 1993The concept of formal ontology was first developed by Husserl. It concerns problems relating to the notions of object, substance, property, part, whole, predication, nominalization, etc. The idea of formal ontology is present in many of Husserl’s works, with minor changes. This paper provides a reconstruction of such an idea.

A Communication Standards Ontology Using Basic Formal Ontologies
2010Working interoperability not only requires harmonized system's architectures, but also the same interpretation of technical specifications in order to guide the development process. This paper analyses the commonly used structures of communication standards elaborated with HL7 Version 3 and proposes an ontological structure resulting in the so-called ...

In this paper, an ontology is regarded as an information system in formal concept analysis. Then, based on theories of concepts, a formal context in ontologies defined by a set of properties is conceptualized as a concept with the extent and the intent.

Descriptive, Formal and Formalized Ontologies
2003I shall distinguish descriptive, formal and formalized ontology. Each of these ontologies comes in two guises: domain-dependent and domain-independent. Domain-dependent ontologies concern categorically closed regions of being; on the other hand, a domain-independent ontology may be properly called general ontology.
