The term ‘Ontology’ stems from ancient Greek and can be translated as ‘theory of existence’4. The discipline of Ontology was founded by Greek philosophers, such as Parmenides of Elea and Aristotle, during the 4th Century BC. Ontology has been a topic of active research throughout the Middle Ages and Modern Age until today, with contributions from such renowned philosophers as Kant and Wittgenstein. Nowadays, Ontology constitutes an important area of contemporary philosophy, covering large research projects and reaching out to such different areas as artificial intelligence, database theory, and natural language processing.KeywordsDescription LogicDomain OntologyCardinality ConstraintFormal OntologyRepresentation OntologyThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
