How the IMF Team is building a four-dimensional top-level ontology

Abstract

<p data-renderer-start-pos="567">This describes the IMFs approach to building a four-dimensional top-level ontology (TLO). It starts with the background, describing the Information Management Framework (IMF) and its approach to top level ontologies; with a focus on fundamental ontological choices that typically boil down to a choice whether to stratify or unify. It outlines the TLO use case - 'Euclidean' Standards - and ontological scope it creates. It the situates the TLO in the Foundation Data Layer of the IMF - built upon the ground layer - the Core Constructional Ontology (CCO). It then describes the CCO and the TLO in terms of its components.</p> <p data-renderer-start-pos="1191"><em data-renderer-mark="true">Presentation Structure</em></p> <ul class="ak-ul" data-indent-level="1"><li><p data-renderer-start-pos="1217">Introducing the IMF Team</p></li><li><p data-renderer-start-pos="1245">Background</p><ul class="ak-ul" data-indent-level="2"><li><p data-renderer-start-pos="1259">Information Management Framework</p></li><li><p data-renderer-start-pos="1295">Choice-based framework</p></li></ul></li><li><p data-renderer-start-pos="1323">TLO Initial Use</p></li><li><p data-renderer-start-pos="1342">Situating the TLO in the IMF</p></li><li><p data-renderer-start-pos="1374">Data Section: Core Constructional Ontology</p></li><li><p data-renderer-start-pos="1420">Data Section: Top Level Ontology</p></li></ul>
