See also artificial intelligence for the specialized use of the word ontology: for applications within computers, specifically in an area known as knowledge representation, an ontology is a data structure containing all the relevant entities and their relationships within a domain. Computer programs can then use the ontology for a variety of purposes including inductive reasoning, classification, and a varety problem solving techniques. Typically, ontologies in computers are tied closely with controlled vocabularies. |
