From IAOA Wiki
Domain Ontology
- 1. An ontology that describes the vocabulary related to a generic domain (like medicine, or automobiles). ([ Guarino, 1998 ])
- 2. A domain ontology is an ontology that describes and categorizes some domain. ([ Arp et al., 2015 ])
- 3. An ontology that provides vocabulary about concepts within a domain and their relationships, about the activities taking place in that domain, and about the theories and elementary principles governing that domain. The concepts in domain ontologies are usually specializations of concepts already defined in top-level ontology, and the same might occur with the relations. ([ Gómez-Pérez et al., 2004 ])
