The Bremen Ontology Research Group was established in 2003 initially in order to support the ontology activities of the Collaborative Research Center on Spatial Cognition. Now several ontology-related initiatives requiring formal and linguistic ontologies are being pursued. (2HYM)
- Our goals are: (2HYN)
- to construct a set of interrelated general common sense ontology modules suitable for all areas of representation, but focusing particularly on spatial representations and information relevant for robotic movement in space: including size, shape and colour representations, routes, and obstacles. (2HYR)
- to construct a general linguistically motivated ontology for interfacing between all computational components developed within our research centres and natural language technology components for natural dialog. (2HYT)
- to investigate formal modelling and managment techniques with varied computational properties as applied to both the ontologies individually and to their mutual relationships, providing for perspectivalism, functional roles and granularity. (2HYO)
