BARBARA HELLER and HEINRICH HERRE ONTOLOGICAL CATEGORIES IN GOL
نویسنده
چکیده
General Ontological Language (GOL) is a formal framework for representing and building ontologies. The purpose of GOL is to provide a system of top-level ontologies which can be used as a basis for building domain-specific ontologies. The present paper gives an overview about the basic categories of the GOL-ontology. GOL is part of the work of the research group Ontologies in Medicine (Onto-Med) at the University of Leipzig which is based on collaborative work of the Institute of Medical Informatics (IMISE) and the Institute for Computer Science (IfI). It represents work in progress toward a proposal for an integrated family of top-level ontologies and will be applied to several fields of medicine, in particular to the field of Clinical Trials.

متن کاملGol: towards an Axiomatized Upper-level Ontology
Every domain-speci c ontology must use as a framework some upper-level ontology which describes the most general, domain-independent categories of reality. In the present paper we sketch a new type of upper-level ontology, which is intended to be the basis of a knowledge modelling language GOL (for: `General Ontological Language'). It turns out that the upperlevel ontology underlying standard m...
متن کاملContributions to the Ontological Foundation of Knowledge Modelling
In the present paper we make some contributions to the emerging eld of so-called ontological engineering. In detail, we discuss the principles underlying knowledge acquisition from an axiomaticdeductive point of view. Then we turn to the notion of an ontology and the connection between ontology and knowledge systems. An ontology comprises ontologically basic relations such as membership, part-w...

General Ontological Language (GOL) is a formal framework for representing and building ontologies. The purpose of GOL is to provide a library of top-level ontologies which can be used as a framework for building more specific ontologies.
