- Ontology
- In information technology, an ontology (pronounced ahn-TAH-luh-djee)
is the working model of entities and interactions in some
particular domain of knowledge or practices. It is a set of
concepts that are specified in some way in order to create an
agreed-upon vocabulary for exchanging information. A formal
ontology is a controlled vocabulary expressed in an ontology
representation language. This language has a grammar for using
vocabulary terms to express something meaningful within the
specified domain of interest.
- Operators
- In programming operators are used to combine and
