“…Usually, (i) will be addressed in domain ontologies which provide necessary and sufficient conditions for identifying and distinguishing domain specific universals of a given domain and the individuals that instantiate those universals. Notice that our technique is quite different from other approaches which ignore the distinctions between top-level and domain-specific terms and which are based on direct mappings between domain-specific terminologies using semantic similarity measures, e.g., (Fonseca et al 2000, 2002b,a, Kuhn 2003, Rodríguez and Egenhofer 2003, Yetongnon et al 2006). We do not reject such approaches; we are however confident that the quality of their achieved results will be enhanced through greater rigor of the sort presented here.…”

“…Our work draws on but goes beyond partial solutions in works such as (Simons 1987, Casati and Varzi 1999, Varzi 2003, Neuhaus et al 2004, Bittner et al 2004b, Bittner et al 2004a, Guarino and Welty 2000b. Our work is complementary to work on semantic similarity measures such as (Fonseca et al 2000, 2002b,a, Rodríguez and Egenhofer 2003.…”

This paper presents an axiomatic formalisation of a theory of top-level relations between three categories of entities: individuals, universals, and collections. We deal with a variety of relations between entities in these categories, including the sub-universal relation among universals and the parthood relation among individuals, as well as cross-categorial relations such as instantiation and membership. We show that an adequate understanding of the formal properties of such relations -in particular their behavior with respect to time -is critical for geographic information processing.The axiomatic theory is developed using Isabelle, a computational system for implementing logical formalisms. All proofs are computerverified and the computational representation of the theory is available online.

“…This type of ontology represents the particular model of a domain according to a single viewpoint of a user or a developer. Fonseca et al (2000) present this kind of ontology as a combination of domain ontology and task ontology in order to fulfill the specific purpose of an application.…”

In the last decades, the use of ontologies in information systems has become more and more popular in various fields, such as web technologies, database integration, multi agent systems, natural language processing, etc. Artificial intelligent researchers have initially borrowed the word "ontology" from Philosophy, then the word spread in many scientific domain and ontologies are now used in several developments. The main goal of this chapter is to answer generic questions about ontologies, such as: Which are the different kinds of ontologies? What is the purpose of the use of ontologies in an application? Which methods can I use to build an ontology?There are several types of ontologies. The word "ontology" can designate different computer science objects depending on the context. For example, an ontology can be: a thesaurus in the field of information retrieval or -a model represented in OWL in the field of linked-data or -a XML schema in the context of databases -etc. -

“…La définition de l'ontologie du domaine (géo-)spatial est un des grands thèmes actuels de la recherche en géomatique (citons entre autres : Frank, 1997 ;Smith et al, 1998 ;Casati et al, 1999 ;Fonseca et al, 2000). La raison essentielle est d'arriver à des définitions universelles échangeables (facilitant l'interopérabilité).…”

RÉSUMÉ. L'espace projectif a été peu exploré dans la caractérisation des objets spatiaux et de leurs relations. Ce travail présente les résultats d'une démarche « projective » concernant la forme des objets spatiaux et les relations binaires et ternaires entre objets. En offrant un cadre mathématique formel à une description qualitative de la forme des objets ainsi qu'à des relations telles que « l'objet A touche un coin de l'objet B » ou bien « l'objet
