A Foundational Ontology of Organizations and Roles
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose a foundational ontology of the social concepts of organization and role which structure institutions. We identify which axioms model social concepts like organization and roles and which properties distinguish them from other categories like objects and agents: the organizational structure of institutions and the relation between roles and organizations. All social concepts depend on descriptions defining them, which are collectively accepted, and the descriptions defining the components of organizations, including roles, are included in the description of the organizations they belong to. Thus, the relational dependence of roles means that they are defined in the organizations

Using a Foundational Ontology for Reengineering a Software Enterprise Ontology
The knowledge about software organizations is considerably relevant to software engineers. The use of a common vocabulary for representing the useful knowledge about software organizations involved in software projects is important for several reasons, such as to support knowledge reuse and to allow communication and interoperability between tools. Domain ontologies can be used to define a comm...
متن کاملFeasibility of Automated Foundational Ontology Interchangeability
While a foundational ontology can solve interoperability issues among the domain ontologies aligned to it, multiple foundational ontologies have been developed. Thus, there are still interoperability issues among domain ontologies aligned to different foundational ontologies. Questions arise about the feasibility of linking one’s ontology to multiple foundational ontologies to increase its pote...
متن کاملComparison of the “Filled” Space of Iranian Painting with the “Empty” Space of The Far East Painting
Almost a particular insight is effective on the artist’s approach in creating quality of space in his painting. In fact, the general atmosphere in any painting is a reporter of artist’s thought and insight. By examining the foundational of ontology in their approach we have found some similarities and differences between the Iranian painting and the Far East painting. The purpose of this study ...
متن کاملImproving Model Quality Through Foundational Ontologies: Two Contrasting Approaches to the Representation of Roles
Several foundational ontologies have been developed recently. We examine two of these from the point of view of their quality in representing temporal changes, focusing on the example of roles. We discuss how these are modelled in two foundational ontologies: the Unified Foundational Ontology and the BORO foundational ontology. These exhibit two different approaches, endurantist and perdurantis...
متن کاملExtending the Foundations of Ontology-Based Conceptual Modeling with a Multi-level Theory
Since the late 1980s, there has been a growing interest in the use of foundational ontologies to provide a sound theoretical basis for the discipline of conceptual modeling. This has led to the development of ontology-based conceptual modeling techniques whose modeling primitives reflect the conceptual categories defined in a foundational ontology. The ontology-based conceptual modeling languag...
