人工智能 (AI) 领域的最新工作正在探索使用形式本体作为指定特定于内容的协议的方式，以便在软件实体之间共享和重用知识。我们从工程角度来看待此类本体的开发。形式本体被视为设计的工件，为特定目的而制定，并根据客观设计标准进行评估。我们描述了本体在支持知识共享活动中的作用，然后提出了一组标准来指导用于这些目的的本体的开发。我们展示了如何将这些标准应用于工程数学和书目数据本体设计的案例研究中。讨论选定的设计决策，并根据设计标准评估替代的表示选择。 (C) 1995 学术出版社有限公司
Recent work in Artificial Intelligence (AI) is exploring the use of formal ontologies as a way of specifying content-specific agreements for the sharing and reuse of knowledge among software entities. We take an engineering perspective on the development of such ontologies. Formal ontologies are viewed as designed artifacts, formulated for specific purposes and evaluated against objective design criteria. We describe the role of ontologies in supporting knowledge sharing activities, and then present a set of criteria to guide the development of ontologies for these purposes. We show how these criteria are applied in case studies from the design of ontologies for engineering mathematics and bibliographic data. Selected design decisions are discussed, and alternative representation choices are evaluated against the design criteria. (C) 1995 Academic Press Limited
