Ontologies resemble faceted taxonomies but use richer semantic relationships among terms and attributes, as well as strict rules about how to specify terms and relationships Because ontologies do more than just control a vocabulary, they are thought of as knowledge representation The oft-quoted definition of ontology is "the specification of one's conceptualization of a knowledge domain "
The creation of a systematically ordered data structure that enhances exchange of information between computers and scientists Ontologies enable the definition and sharing of domain-specific vocabularies
The branch of metaphysics that addresses the nature or essential characteristics of being and of things that exist; the study of being qua being
One of the major branches of philosophy, most often contrasted with epistemology Essentially, ontology is the study of what actually is For most people, for most purposes, ontology ultimately comes down to physics
A Yahoo-like hierarchy of relationships and a glossary used as a standardization device to describe goods and services and to facilitate commerce in a Net market (See normalize )
The study of the nature of being, reality, and substance
A partial specification of a conceptual vocabulary to be used for formulating knowledge-level theories about a domain of discourse The fundamental role of an ontology is to support knowledge sharing and reuse
An explicit formal specification of how to represent the objects, concepts, and other entities that are assumed to exist in some area of interest and the relationships that hold among them
1 The fundamental categories of what sorts or kinds of things there are in the universe At one level of analysis, tables and chairs might be considered to be distinct kinds of things; but for the purposes of ontology, tables and chairs are (usually regarded as being) the same sort of 'thing', namely physical (or spatiotemporal) entities Other 'fundamental' sorts of things which have been proposed by various philosophers at one time or another have been: sets (or classes), propositions, facts, states of affairs, universals, numbers, causal connections, forces, substances, souls, minds, spiritual beings, ethical values, purposes, etc
In philosophy, ontology is the study of being In knowledge-based systems, an ontology is that part of the system which specifies what things exist and what is true about them Cyc's ontology is essentially its whole knowledge base You may hear people refer to their "ontology of devices" or their "temporal ontology" What they are talking about is those parts of their knowledge base (the constants and assertions) that concern devices or time
"Ontologies are being developed as specific concept models by the Knowledge Management community They can represent complex relationships between objects, and include the rules and axioms missing from semantic networks Ontologies that describe knowledge in a specific area are often connected with systems for data mining and knowledge management" "NKOS Taxonomy of Knowledge Organization Sources/Systems" Draft, July 31, 2000 Online Available at http: //nkos slis kent edu/KOS_taxonomy htm
A branch of metaphysics that studies the nature and relations of existence
The theory of a particular philosopher or school of thought concerning the fundamental types of entity in the universe
the metaphysical study of the nature of being and existence
Branch of philosophy concerned with the study of the nature of being An ontology can be thought of as a description of the nature of some aspect of being or being in general
Metaphysics is customarily divided into ontology, which deals with the question of how many fundamentally distinct sorts of entities compose the universe, and metaphysics proper, which is concerned with describing the most general traits of reality
Ontology is the study of being, and it encompasses everything involved with the beings within humans, the process of becoming our beings fully, and relationships between degrees of being and the ontological worlds they create Ontological refers to anything that has to do with the realself For example, ontologically sensitive people are sensitive to the realselves within themselves and within others See also Realself ontology
