From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
ontology          1. A systematic account of Existence.          2. (From philosophy) An explicit       formal specification of how to represent the objects, concepts       and other entities that are assumed to exist in some area of       interest and the relationships that hold among them.          For {AI} systems, what "exists" is that which can be       represented.   When the {knowledge} about a {domain} is       represented in a {declarative language}, the set of objects       that can be represented is called the {universe of discourse}.       We can describe the ontology of a program by defining a set of       representational terms.   Definitions associate the names of       entities in the {universe of discourse} (e.g. classes,       relations, functions or other objects) with human-readable       text describing what the names mean, and formal {axioms} that       constrain the interpretation and well-formed use of these       terms.   Formally, an ontology is the statement of a {logical       theory}.          A set of {agents} that share the same ontology will be able to       communicate about a domain of discourse without necessarily       operating on a globally shared theory.   We say that an agent       commits to an ontology if its observable actions are       consistent with the definitions in the ontology.   The idea of       ontological commitment is based on the {Knowledge-Level}       perspective.          3. The hierarchical structuring of       knowledge about things by subcategorising them according to       their essential (or at least relevant and/or cognitive)       qualities.   See {subject index}.   This is an extension of the       previous senses of "ontology" (above) which has become common       in discussions about the difficulty of maintaining {subject       indices}.          (1997-04-09)
