DOLCE (Descriptive Ontology for Linguistic and Cognitive Engineering)

DOLCE (Descriptive Ontology for Linguistic and Cognitive Engineering) is a framework used to organize and clarify how concepts relate to each other in language, thought, and knowledge. It provides a structured way to categorize things like objects, events, qualities, and relationships, helping computers and systems understand complex information accurately. By offering a common, logical vocabulary, DOLCE supports better data sharing, reasoning, and communication across different applications, especially in fields like artificial intelligence, knowledge management, and semantic technologies.
