Input previously posted to the wiki

An ontology is a 'set of agreed terms of references' that define a given knowledge domain and its established boundaries, and includes abstractions, representations, formalisations, transformations and implementations'. It is also a 'conceptual and semantic model of reality' developed to provide view of the world. [posted by PaolaDiMaio / 2007.02.08]
