  1. Introduction to OntylogDTSAPI Prepared for the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Kim Ong 12/07/2001

  2. Ontylog • Apelon’s Ontylog is a language of description logics class for building and maintaining large knowledge bases. Source: The Ontylog Language: An Overview (by Apelon Inc.)

  3. Concept, Taxonomy, and Knowledge Base • A concept has a name, is of a unique kind, belongs to a namespace, and exists within a directed acyclic graph of taxonomy. • A taxonomy is a collection of concepts related to each other through subsumption. (Concept A subsumes ConceptB if and only if A is more general than B) • A knowledge base is a collection of taxonomies.

  4. Primitive and Defined Concepts • Concepts are either primitive or defined. • The difference between primitive and defined concepts is a matter of completeness of the definition. • Primitive concepts do not have sufficient definitions, they are the foundations for knowledge representation schema. • Non-primitive concepts represent concepts that are fully defined within the knowledge representation system.

  5. Kinds, Properties, Namespaces • Kinds are pair-wise disjoint (set of concepts). • Properties are additional information attached to concepts. They have no relevance to the semantics of Ontylog. • A namespace is a collection of Kind, Role, Property, and Concept Definitions.

  6. Roles • A role is a binary relation between kinds. • Roles have names, domains, and ranges. • Two logical modifiers, all and some, can be attached to roles within a concept term.
