近年来，人们期望本体有助于知识的共享和使用。然而，由于本体设计的原则不够清晰，很难开发出组织良好的本体。因此，需要一种本体设计的方法和支持本体设计的计算机系统。我们的研究目标包括本体设计的方法论，以及构建和使用本体的环境的开发。建立本体论需要清楚地了解什么可以是概念，与其他概念有什么关系。因此，本体论关注的是“概念”本身，而不是它们的“表征”。尽管迄今为止已经开发了一些构建本体论的系统，但它们都没有充分考虑本体论理论。我们认为，需要对这些本体论理论进行基本考虑，以开发一个发展本体论的环境。以前的大多数本体论都是用基于框架的语言表示的，没有清楚地处理这些需要深入本体论研究的概念。因此，我们从本体论的基本考虑开始。我们主要讨论“角色概念”和“关系”，并考虑如何在我们的环境中对待这些本体论上重要的概念。基于这些考虑，我们设计并开发了一个用于构建和使用本体的环境，名为“Hozo”。本文概述了Hozo的功能。我们关注的是它如何在根本考虑的基础上处理关系和作用。
Recently, an ontology is expected to contribute to knowledge sharing and euse. It is,however, difficult to develop well-organized ontologies because the principles of ontology design are not clear enough. Therefore, a methodology for ontology design and a computer system supporting ontology design are needed. Our research goals include a methodology of ontology design, and development of an environment for building and using ontologies. Building an ontology requires a clear understanding of what can be concepts with what relations to others. An ontology thus focuses on “concepts” themselves rather than “representation” of them. Although several systems for building ontologies have been developed to date, they were not based on enough consideration of an ontological theory. We argue that a fundamental consideration of these ontological theories is needed to develop an environment for developing ontologies. Most of the previous ontologies, which are represented in frame-based languages,don't clearly deal with such concepts that need deep ontological investigation. Therefore we begin with a fundamental consideration of an ontological theory. We discuss mainly “role concept” and “relationship”, and consider how these ontologically important concepts should be treated in our environment. On the basis of the consideration we have designed and have developed an environment for building and using ontologies, named “Hozo”. This paper presents an outline of the functionality of Hozo. We focus on how it treats the relations and roles on the basis of fundamental consideration.
