To effectively use and exchange information among AI systems, a formal specification of the representation of their shared domain of discourse—called an ontology—is indispensable. In this article we introduce a special kind of knowledge representation based on a dual view of the universe of discourse and show how it can be used in human activities such

An Ontology Architecture for Integration of Ontologies
2006Ontologies are expected in various areas as promising tools to improve communication among people and to achieve interoperability among systems For communications between different business domains, building an ontology through integrating existing ontologies is more efficient way than building the ontology without them However, integration of ...

An Approach to Ontology Integration for Ontology Reuse
2016 IEEE 17th International Conference on Information Reuse and Integration (IRI), 2016In the last years, the large availability of data and schema models formalized through different languages has demanded effective and efficient methodologies to reuse such models. One of the most challenging problem consists in integrating different models in a global conceptualization of a specific knowledge or application domain.

Applied Ontology, 2011
Although the notions of function and functionality seem to be necessary tools – along with notionslike object, event and property – for making sense of the outside world, our understanding of functionsis still poor and fragmented. Serious theoretical work on functions and functionalities started in philos-ophy of science only about 40 years ago (see ...

The evaluation of ontologies is an emerging field. At present, there is an absence of a deep core of preliminary ideas and guidelines for evaluating ontologies. This paper presents a brief summary of previous work done on evaluating ontologies and the criteria Žconsistency, completeness, conciseness, expandability, and sensitiveness.

Ontological questions are questions about existence: Which things are truly existent? Into which fundamental categories do they fall? One seeks, not just an inventory of reality, but a map of it, one that could help to structure and navigate one’s other philosophical concerns.

Ontological commitment and ontological commitments
Philosophical Studies, 2019The standard account of ontological commitment is quantificational. There are many old and well-chewed-over challenges to the account, but recently Kit Fine added a new challenge. Fine claimed that the “quantificational account gets the basic logic of ontological commitment wrong” and offered an alternative account that used an existence predicate ...

Ontological Categories for Geo-Ontologies
2021Despite their recent development (see Chap. 6), geo-ontologies still represent a complicated conundrum for most experts involved in their design. IT/computer scientists use ontologies for describing the meaning of data and their semantics to make information resources built for humans also understandable for artificial agents (see Chap. 2). Geographers

The word "ontology" is used with diðerent senses in diðerent com- munities. The most radical diðerence is perhaps between the philosophical sense, which has of course a well-established tradition, and the computational sense, which emerged in the recent years in the knowledge engineering community, starting from an early informal definition of ...
