Abstract

Currently, ontology is a widely-spread term in the area of information technology. The research and development of smart data or semantic techniques is all based on the concept. RDF (Resource Definition Framework), OWL (Web Ontology Language) and so forth are its new applications. IDEF5 was developed for ontology capture. The syntax and semantics of IDEF5 are introduced. Other widely used ontology modeling methods are mentioned too. A subject-oriented knowledge formalization method is also offered to illustrate the usage of ontology capture.
