ISO/IEC 24707 (Ontology and Meta-modeling)

ISO/IEC 24707 defines a standardized way to create and organize formal descriptions of concepts and their relationships—known as ontologies. Think of it as a common language and framework for systems to understand and share knowledge about different subjects. This standard helps ensure that data across various systems and domains can be consistently modeled and interpreted, enabling better data integration, communication, and interoperability. Essentially, it provides guidelines for building structured, machine-readable representations of knowledge that support complex information management and reasoning.
