DOLCE Ontology

The DOLCE ontology is a structured framework that categorizes and describes fundamental concepts and entities in the world, helping computers understand the nature of things. It distinguishes between different types of objects, like physical items and abstract ideas, by defining their properties and relationships. For example, it separates things that are tangible, such as a book, from more abstract concepts like time or emotions. DOLCE provides a common ground for organizing knowledge in areas like artificial intelligence, making it easier for systems to interpret, process, and reason about information accurately.
