Ontological Engineering

Ontological engineering is the process of designing and creating ontologies, which are formal representations of knowledge within a specific domain. An ontology defines the concepts, categories, and relationships that exist in that domain, helping to organize and structure information. This enables better data sharing, retrieval, and understanding among people and machines. Essentially, ontological engineering aims to create a common framework that makes it easier to communicate and work with complex information, facilitating applications like artificial intelligence, data integration, and knowledge management.
