A 4-Dimensionalist Top Level Ontology (TLO):

Abstract

<p>This presentation describes what the 4-dimensionalist top level ontology (TLO) based upon mereotopology and space-time being developed for the Information Management Framework (IMF) looks like. It describes the agile, iterative, modular approach adopted. It situates the 4-dimensional approach in terms of its ontological choices. It outlines the scope of the first iteration, based upon requirements that emerge from industrial standards such as; Building Smart, STEP amd TC211/INSPIRE. It describes the spatio-temporal candidates for ontological analysis that emerge from these standards. It then provides a historical overview of the use of worldlines to characterise these candidates. And builds upon this for one example, coordinate systems. Finally it provides an overview of how space-time can be modularised.&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);"><em>Presentation Structure</em></span></p> <ul><li><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);">Preliminaries - overall approach: How, broadly speaking, do we develop the ontology?</span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);">Situating 4D in ontological space: A requirement for space-time is central</span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);">Broad modularisation context</span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);">First iteration: scope : What should the scope of the first ‘MVP’ be?</span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);">Top-down and bottom-up approach</span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);">Space-time – top-down workstream</span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);">Space-time: Foundation Data Model : from worldlines to spatial objects and locations</span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);">Space-time: top-level-ontology: from core to worldlines<br></span></li></ul>
