Upper Ontology: Fundamentals and Applications
Om denne lydboken
What Is Upper Ontology
In the field of information science, an upper ontology is defined as an ontology that is made up of extremely general terms that are shared by all different types of domains. An important role of an upper ontology is to support broad semantic interoperability among a large number of domain-specific ontologies by offering a common beginning point for the formation of definitions. This is accomplished by giving a starting point that is shared by all of the ontologies in question. The terms in the domain ontology are ranked lower than the terms in the upper ontology; for instance, the classes in the upper ontology are either superclasses or supersets of all of the classes in the domain ontologies.
