3 Idea We will use Unified Foundation Ontology (UFO) as main upper level ontology to guide development of domain level ontology and consequently application ontologies. Theoretical background behind the UFO will help us to validate our design decisions during the ontology development. Miroslav Blaško Foundational Ontology and Ontology Testing November 16, / 16

6 Introduction What is Unified Foundational Ontology (UFO)? a foundational ontology developed by Giancarlo Guizzardi et al. a descriptive ontology representing universals and particulars, endurants and perdurants based on theories from Formal Ontology, Philosophical Logics, Philosophy of Language, Linguistics and Cognitive Psychology incorporates ideas from GFO, DOLCE and the Ontology of Universals underlying OntoClean Miroslav Blaško (miroslav.blasko@fel.cvut.cz)unified Foundational Ontology and Ontology Testing November 16, / 16

8 UFO Core Modules Structure Miroslav Blaško Foundational Ontology and Ontology Testing November 16, / 16
9 UFO Core Modules Overview 1 UFO-A an ontology of endurants dealing with aspects of structural conceptual modeling such types and taxonomic structures, part-whole relations, particularized intrinsic properties, attributes and attribute value spaces, particularized relational properties and relations, roles [3]. UFO-B an ontology of perdurants (events, processes) including perdurant mereology, temporal ordering of perdurants, object participation in perdurants, causation, change and the connection between perdurans and endurants via dispositions [6]. UFO-C an ontology of intentional and social entities addressing notions such as beliefs, desires, intentions, goals, actions, commitments and claims, social roles and social particularized relational complexes (social relators) [4]. UFO-S on ontology for commitment-based services [7]. UFO-L an ontology representing legal domain [2]. 1 For detailed overview see [4, 5] Miroslav Blaško (miroslav.blasko@fel.cvut.cz)unified Foundational Ontology and Ontology Testing November 16, / 16

12 Ontological Meta-properties of Object Types Let T be an object type 2. Identity I + (T) carries identity O + (T) owns (supply) identity Rigidity R + (T) = ( x T (x) (T (x))) (Rigid) R (T) = R + (T) = ( x T (x) T (x)) (Non-Rigid) R (T) = ( x T (x) ( T (x))) (Anti-Rigid) R s (T) = R (T) R (T) (Semi-Rigid) Relational Dependance D + (T, T, R) = def ( x T (x) y T (y) R(x, y)) 2 Might be also referred as Substantial.
