Abstract
An ontology of unconventional conflict supports the understanding of unconventional conflict in general. It also provides a tool for understanding and investigating a particular unconventional conflict. Such an ontology does these things by providing a structure that exposes the things that are known about unconventional conflict and the relationships among these things. And it exposes significant things that are not known.
