本文讨论了本体工程的高级主题，以使读者相信本体不仅仅是术语问题的规则基础，而且是值得考虑的下一代知识处理研究中有前途的方法。不用说，人工智能的本体论与哲学的本体论是紧密相连的。第一个主题是哲学问题，这对于正确理解什么是本体论非常重要。在定义了类、实例和本体关系之后，指出了现有本体中典型的本体关系使用不当，并分析了其原因。其他主题有基本本体区分、部分关系等。作为本体论的一个高级例子，表征本体论被广泛讨论。在本教程的最后，介绍了一个本体工程的成功案例。它涉及到本体的一种新的应用，即知识系统化。一个基于本体的功能知识共享框架已经在一家公司部署了两年，并取得了巨大的成功。最后，对本体工程的发展前景进行了展望，并作了总结。
This article deals with advanced topics of ontological engineering to convince readers ontology is more than a rule base of terminological problems and is worth to consider a promising methodology in the next generation knowledge processing research. Needless to say, ontology in AI is tightly connected to ontology in philosophy. The first topic here is on philosophical issues which are very important to properly understand what an ontology is. After defining class, instance and is-a relation, we point out some typical inappropriate uses of is-a relation in existing ontologies and analyze the reasons why. Other topics are basic ontological distinction, part-of relation, and so on. As an advanced example of ontology, an ontology of representation is extensively discussed. To conclude this tutorial, a success story of ontological engineering is presented. It is concerned with a new kind of application of ontology, that is, knowledge systematization. An ontology-based framework for functional knowledge sharing has been deployed into a company for two years and has been a great success. Finally, future of ontological engineering is discussed followed by concluding remarks.
