Towards an Ontological Implementation of UAF, Part 1: UAF Was Built for This
There is a technique the systems-engineering world still underuses: rendering a specification as an ontology, not merely to implement it,...
Upper Ontologies: Inherit or Instantiate?
Every serious modeling effort eventually adopts an upper ontology: a small, foundational vocabulary of top-level classes that domain ontologies build...
Why OML and Not Just OWL?
It helps to separate two concerns that often get conflated: semantic interoperability and ontological modeling.
