Applicability of a Foundational Ontology to Semantically Enrich the Core and Domain Ontologies

Abstract

This paper analyses the key terms, relationships and axioms of ThingFO (Thing Foundational Ontology), which is an ontology devoted for particular and universal things and assertions. It is placed at the foundational level in the context of a five-tier ontological architecture. This architecture groups together foundational, core, top-domain, low-domain, and instance levels, making ThingFO the single ontology at the top level. Thus, the ontologies at lower levels reuse and specialize, for example, its terms and relationships. To illustrate the applicability of ThingFO, this work also discusses enriched terms and specialized relationships for a core ontology, particularly for situation, where its concepts are themselves cross-cutting concerns for different domain terminologies. In addition, verification and validation issues are addressed as well.
