I really like the first sentence of 1.1:
We characterize the meaning of the term “ontology” to include a catalog of
terms used in a domain, the rules governing how those terms can be
combined to make valid statements about situations in that domain, and the
“sanctioned inferences” that can be made when such statements
are used in that domain. (01)
