An ontology holds information about what categories exist in the domain, what properties they have, and how they are related to one another. (Chandrasekaran et al. 1999) {nid 2KKU} The term ontology exported from philosophy is increasingly used by knowledge engineers to refer to a computational artifact or resource that makes explicit the elements (entities and relations) in a problem domain. A major challenge is to make the intended meanings in ways that at once faithful to people in a domain and processable by computational systems. Formal ontologies represent an attempt to constrain their expression in order to allow for a concrete interpretation of the vocabulary and symbols used. {nid 2KKV} |
