Towards a Standard Upper Ontology

by Ian Niles, Adam Pease , 2001
"... The Suggested Upper Merged Ontology (SUMO) is an upper level ontology that has been proposed as a starter document for The Standard Upper Ontology Working Group, an IEEE-sanctioned working group of collaborators from the fields of engineering, philosophy, and information science. The SUMO provides d ..."

Introduction Research and applications in computer science are creating the need for precise definitions of the concepts that make up our world. Web searching is handicapped by the limitations of specifying search criteria in terms of keywords rather than concepts. Automated natural language understanding, both oral and written, is severely limited by the ambiguity of language. Software engineering is limited by the need for engineers to define concepts to model the world. Computers exist in a world similar to Europe in the Middle Ages in which tiny principalities each had their own language or dialect. Worse yet, these dialects are impoverished and they enable the computers to say only very specific and limited things. In order to enable continued progress in ecommerce and software integration, we must give computers a common language with a richness that more closely approaches that of human language. Integrating the meaning (or semantics) of databases and programs is crucial

Ontology Development 101: A Guide to Creating Your First Ontology

by Natalya F. Noy, Deborah L. Mcguinness , 2001
"... In recent years the development of ontologies—explicit formal specifications of the terms in the domain and relations among them (Gruber 1993)—has been moving from the realm of Artificial-Intelligence laboratories to the desktops of domain experts. Ontologies have become common on the World-Wide Web ..."

at facilitating agent interaction on the Web (Hendler and McGuinness 2000). Many disciplines now develop standardized ontologies that domain experts can use to share and annotate information in their fields. Medicine, for example, has produced large, standardized, structured vocabularies such as SNOMED (Price

Ontologies: Silver Bullet for Knowledge Management and Electronic Commerce

by Dieter Fensel , 2007
"... Currently computers are changing from single isolated devices to entry points into a world wide network of information exchange and business transactions called the World Wide Web (WWW). Therefore support in the exchange of data, information, and knowledge exchange is becoming the key issue in cur ..."

in current computer technology. Ontologies provide a shared and common understanding of a domain that can be communicated between people and application systems. Therefore, they may play a major role in supporting information exchange processes in various areas. This book discusses the role ontologies

A translation approach to portable ontology specifications

by Thomas R. Gruber - KNOWLEDGE ACQUISITION , 1993
"... To support the sharing and reuse of formally represented knowledge among AI systems, it is useful to define the common vocabulary in which shared knowledge is represented. A specification of a representational vocabulary for a shared domain of discourse — definitions of classes, relations, functions ..."

, functions, and other objects — is called an ontology. This paper describes a mechanism for defining ontologies that are portable over representation systems. Definitions written in a standard format for predicate calculus are translated by a system called Ontolingua into specialized representations

Dynamic Tuning of the IEEE 802.11 Protocol to Achieve a Theoretical Throughput Limit

by Frederico Calì, Marco Conti, Enrico Gregori - IEEE/ACM TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING , 2000
"... In wireless LANs (WLANs), the medium access control (MAC) protocol is the main element that determines the efficiency in sharing the limited communication bandwidth of the wireless channel. In this paper we focus on the efficiency of the IEEE 802.11 standard for WLANs. Specifically, we analytically ..."

Linking Lexicons and Ontologies: Mapping WordNet to the Suggested Upper Merged Ontology

by Ian Niles, Adam Pease - PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2003 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE ENGINEERING (IKE 03), LAS VEGAS , 2003
"... Ontologies are becoming extremely useful tools for sophisticated software engineering. Designing applications, databases, and knowledge bases with reference to a common ontology can mean shorter development cycles, easier and faster integration with other software and content, and a more scalable pr ..."
