Abstract

Having established the scientific background of ontology engineering, we now present version 2.0 of the ontology OntoCAPE. Compliant with the terminology introduced in the previous chapter, OntoCAPE can be characterized as a formal, heavyweight ontology, which is represented in the OWL modeling language. It consists of several sub-ontologies, which perform different functions: According to the classification framework introduced in Sect. 2.6, the individual sub-ontologies serve the functions of a meta ontology (at the logical metalevel), a top-level ontology, a domain ontology, as well as some application ontologies.
