Context in Ontology for Knowledge Representation

Abstract

The ontology represents a rich model for knowledge representation that is gaining popularity over years. Its expressivity and computability promote its use in a large scale of applications. In this paper, we first present a meta-model that describes the ontology basic elements and the relationships among them. A new element is introduced to the ontology model called “Context”. This new conceptual element improves the representation quality and allows for the modeling of more complex knowledge efficiently. The context is next integrated to the proposed meta-model.
