== DOLCE ==
#  The Descriptive Ontology  for Linguistic  and  Cognitive  Engineering  (DOLCE)was the first module of a foundational  ontologies  library developed in the WonderWeb project. It has a ''cognitive bias'',  as it captures  the  ontological categories  underlying  natural  language  and  human  commonsense. 

* DOLCE is an ontology of particulars, i.e., entities  which  have  no  instances. DOLCE  is  based  on  a  fundamental  distinction  between enduring (''endurants'') and perduring entities (''perdurants'').   Endurants  are characterised by  all  their  proper parts  being present at  any  time they  are present.  Perdurants are only partially present at  any  time they are present,  in  the  sense  that  some of  their  proper temporal parts  (e.g.,  their  previous  or  future phases)  may be  not  present.

* Its current version is DOLCE2.1-Lite-Plus (a simplified translations of Dolce2.0 that do not consider: modality, temporal indexing, relation composition.) (Source: [http://www.loa.istc.cnr.it/old/DOLCE.html])
