TBox

TBox, short for "Terminological Box," is a concept in knowledge representation and ontology within artificial intelligence and information systems. It refers to a formal structure that defines the relationships and properties of terms or concepts within a specific domain. Essentially, TBox provides a framework for understanding how different ideas are connected and what they mean, allowing systems to reason about knowledge more effectively. It contrasts with ABox, which contains assertions about specific instances. Together, TBox and ABox help systems organize and retrieve information accurately.
